Meanwhile, it also illuminates the history of Japan and its own struggles with racism and xenophobia, which led to the bombing of Pearl Harbor, ultimately tying the two countries together. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Today, America is still filled with racial tension, and personal liberty in wartime is as relevant a topic as ever. Moving and impactful, National Book Award finalist Albert Marrin’s sobering exploration of this monumental injustice shines as bright a light on current events as it does on the past.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                    \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                                    \u003cp\u003eAlbert Marrin is the author of numerous nonfiction books for young readers, including the National Book Award finalist \u003ci\u003eFlesh and Blood So Cheap: The Triangle Fire and Its Legacy,\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eA Volcano Beneath the Snow: John Brown’s War Against Slavery,\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eThomas Paine: Crusader for Liberty,\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eBlack Gold: The Story of Oil in Our Lives, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eFDR and the American Crisis.\u003c\/i\u003e His many honors include the Washington Children’s Book Guild and \u003ci\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/i\u003e Nonfiction Award for an “outstanding lifetime contribution that has enriched the field of children’s literature,” the James Madison Book Award for lifetime achievement, and the National Endowment for the Humanities Medal, awarded by President George W.
