On the evening of the attack on Pearl Harbor, Soga, the editor of a Japanese-language newspaper, was arrested along with several hundred other prominent Issei ( Japanese immigrants) in Hawaii. After being held for six months on Sand Island, Soga was transferred to an Army camp in Lordsburg, New Mexico, and later to a Justice Department camp in Santa Fe. He would spend just under four years in custody before returning to Hawaii in the months following the end of the war.</p><p>Most of what has been written about the detention of Japanese Americans focuses on the Nisei experience of mass internment on the West Coastlargely because of the language barrier immigrant writers faced. This translation, therefore, presents us with a rare Issei voice on internment, and Sogas opinions challenge many commonly held assumptions about Japanese Americans during the war regarding race relations, patriotism, and loyalty.</p><p>Although centered on one mans experience, <em>Life behind Barbed Wire</em> benefits greatly from Sogas trained eye and instincts as a professional journalist, which allowed him to paint a larger picture of those extraordinary times and his place in them.
