Not a book, but a DVD documentary about Japanese-Americans fighting for their American homeland during WWII despite that their families and themselves were interred in prison camps. Most interesting fact I learned was that Hawaiian Japanese were not subjected to the same internment restrictions as their fellow Japanese on the mainland.

And because Hawaii did not become a state until after the war was over.

Japanese have lived in Hawaii for a long time. Why they would be put in internment camps when Hawaii was not a U.S. state doesn't seem like a surprise to me. It seems normal.

Maybe they were a big enough % of Hawaiian population that detainment would have caused too much disruption, there were too many people of German/Italian background to detain any sizeable numbers in the US.

I think it was just because Hawaii was not a state.
