      abstract = {"After Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, persons of Japanese  ancestry were the victims of frequent racist acts and  culturally biased governmental loyalty investigations and,  finally, of exclusion and imprisonment. The majority of  Japanese Americans complied with government actions during  this period, including the drafting of Japanese Americans  into military service. However, some two hundred Japanese  Americans drafted into the army refused to serve in combat  while their families languished in internment camps.   The  history of Japanese Americans in World War II does not  record the stories of these resisters. It does not mention  the War Department Special Organization, to which many of  them were transferred, or the individuals who were tried  and sentenced by military courts to long prison terms. The  two hundred conscientious military resisters felt betrayed  by the government and viewed the decision to imprison  Japanese Americans as an immoral acquiescence to West Coast  racism."--pub. desc.},
