Three stories of Japanese American resistance during wartime paint a fuller picture of a dark chapter in US history.

This is a worthy topic, but unfortunately a poor execution. The stories are piecemeal and disjointed. There is far too much telling and not enough showing - the graphic format was badly underutilised. The excessively small print in portions provided further friction to the reading process.

Read They Called Us Enemy (Takei) instead.

Prairiegirl_reading I was going suggest They Called Is Enemy but you didn‘t it! That one is excellent. Too bad about this one. 😕 2w

Lauredhel @Prairiegirl_reading ah well! The worst thing is I could see less well read (or more homophobic) people incorporating this into teaching / history programmes when there is a MUCH better book available (edited) 2w

so-so

This is the second historical graphic novel where I don't think the format added to the narrative at all. It felt like either they weren't confident that it would get noticed as text or they didn't have enough material for a book. One artist at least attempted to imbue his sections with some stylization, but it was so sketchy that it was sometimes hard to interpret what was going on. Still, it contains important information, so still recommended
