Harvey Solomon: Such Splendid Prisons

Immediately after Pearl Harbor, the US government rounded up and incarcerated Axis diplomats and their families in remote luxury hotels until  US diplomats trapped abroad could be repatriated. Such Splendid Prisons uncovers this hidden chapter in American history. It is brimming with behind-the-scenes diplomatic machinations and political calculations, public outrage, hidden agendas, rancor, and racism.
