Tetsuden Kashima. Judgment without Trial: Japanese American Imprisonment during World War II. (The Scott and Laurie Oki Series in Asian American Studies.) Seattle: University of Washington Press. 2004. Pp. xi, 316. $35.00.
The literature on the United States' World War II internment of Japanese Americans has grown exponentially in recent years, particularly with increased comprehension of what occurred and efforts by some political figures to rectify the injustices through expressions of regret and monetary redress. Most of the literature has dealt with the reasons for the internments, the impact on the lives of the internees, their individual narratives, and case studies of internment facilities and events. In this book, however, Tetsuden Kashima sets out to make available information on the how rather than the who, what, and where. His primary objective is to show the procedures and processes used by the many government agencies to legitimate "incarceration" of Japanese Americans. He also demonstrates that plans for such internment were in place long before Pearl Harbor.	1
As the author indicates, plans for possible war with Japan were in existence in the 1920s. War plans had also been made for the event of war with other nations, including Canada, Britain, Germany, and New Zealand. Given the continual and rising concerns of army and navy military planners over Japan's actions in the Far East in the 1920s and 1930s, it is not surprising that war plans were under consideration by officials in Washington. Kashima shows that there were also proposals for what to do with the Japanese American contingent of the U.S. population in the event of war.	. . .
