In Defense of Internment: The Case for 'Racial Profiling' in World War II and the War on Terror

In Defense of Internment: The Case for 'Racial Profiling' in World War II and the War on Terror

Michelle Malkin
3.2/5 ( ratings)
Everything you've been taught about the World War II "internment camps" in America is wrong:

They were not created primarily because of racism or wartime hysteria


They did not target only those of Japanese descent


They were not Nazi-style death camps

In her latest investigative tour-de-force, New York Times best-selling author Michelle Malkin sets the historical record straight-and debunks radical ethnic alarmists who distort history to undermine common-sense, national security profiling. The need for this myth-shattering book is vital. President Bush's opponents have attacked every homeland defense policy as tantamount to the "racist" and "unjustified" World War II internment. Bush's own transportation secretary, Norm Mineta, continues to milk his childhood experience at a relocation camp as an excuse to ban profiling at airports. Misguided guilt about the past continues to hamper our ability to prevent future terrorist attacks.

In Defense of Internment shows that the detention of enemy aliens, and the mass evacuation and relocation of ethnic Japanese from the West Coast were not the result of irrational hatred or conspiratorial bigotry. This document-packed book highlights the vast amount of intelligence, including top-secret "MAGIC" messages, which revealed the Japanese espionage threat on the West Coast.
Malkin also tells the truth about:

who resided in enemy alien internment camps


what the West Coast relocation centers were really like


why the $1.65 billion federal reparations law for Japanese internees and evacuees was a bipartisan disaster


how both Japanese American and Arab/Muslim American leaders have united to undermine America's safety

With trademark fearlessness, Malkin adds desperately needed perspective to the ongoing debate about the balance between civil liberties and national security. In Defense of Internment will outrage, enlighten, and radically change the way you view the past-and the present.
