Roger Daniels, a prominent historian, explores the experiences of Japanese Americans during World War II in his notable work, which highlights the injustices faced by this community. Through detailed research, he examines the impact of internment and the broader implications of civil liberties during wartime. His scholarship sheds light on a pivotal moment in American history, emphasizing themes of prejudice, resilience, and the struggle for justice.

Examining the conditions of immigrants, Native Americans, and African Americans between 1890 and 1924, the heyday of immigration and a time of supposed progress for American minorities, Mr. Daniels finds that these groups experienced as much repression as advance.

"Prisoners Without Trail" is a critical exploration of the internment of 120,000 Japanese Americans during World War II. Part of Hill and Wang's Critical Issues Series, Roger Daniels's updated edition includes a revised final chapter and expanded readings, prompting reflection on the potential for similar injustices in the future.

Illustrated with numerous period photos and prints, this authoritative history of American immigration is a tribute to the men and women from diverse cultures who have helped shape the American character."Encyclopedic in scope, yet lively and provocative." "--San Francisco Chronicle" "A valuable contribution to the growing field of historical research on immigration...concentrating on the demographics and everyday lives of immigrants to America in three periods: colonial times, 1820-1924, and the modern era."
