This is a book about how some people worked very hard in order to get a form of redress to those of Japanese ancestry who had been interned during World War II in the various internment camps. The book is one dealing pretty much specifically with the stories of certain people involved and is really focused on just the redress movement, so there's very, very little about the actual internment process here.

The book notes that a Senator from California, S. I. Hayakawa, was opposed to the redress movement.

The author says that the redress movement was important in that it let a lot of people know about what had happened during the internment process, and it raised the level of respect for Japanese Americans.
