       -- Equal justice delayed -- President of all the people? 
520    On February 19, 1942, following the Japanese bombing of 
       Pearl Harbor and Japanese successes in the Pacific, 
       President Franklin Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, 
       which allowed for the summary removal of Japanese aliens 
       and American citizens of Japanese descent from their West 
       Coast homes, and their incarceration under guard in camps.
       Amid the numerous histories of this shameful event, FDR's 
       contributions have been seen as negligible. Now, using 
       Roosevelt's own writings and other documents, historian 
       Robinson reveals the president's central role in the 
       internment and examines not only what the president did 
       but why. This book attempts to explain how a great 
       humanitarian leader, while fighting a war to preserve 
       democracy, could have implemented such a profoundly unjust
       and undemocratic policy toward his own people. It reminds 
       us of the power of a president's beliefs on public policy 
       and of the need for citizen vigilance to protect against 
       potential abuses.--From publisher description.
