The story is told in a mostly straightforward manner, but under its simplicity is deep well of meaning, insight, and emotion. This is a horrific and frustrating chapter of American history, and the book does a good job of laying everything out and also showing all sides of the issues. It’s a powerful story, made even more so by the grace and sincerity with which Takei tells it. Truly inspirational, and a stark reminder that we are ever on the line of letting the worst in history repeat itself.
