U.S. Government Priinting Office, 1982 Edition: First Description: Softcover. 467, 13. The Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians was a group of nine people appointed by the U.S. Congress in 1980 to conduct an official governmental study into the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II.The Commission looked at the decision of the exclusion, the justification for it, and the conditions that permitted the decision. The decision they found was mostly based on fear and racism. There was a lot of public fear at the time due to racial stereotypes. The justification by General DeWitt, the man who recommended this action, was found to be unreasonable and racist. He claimed that the Japanese demonstrated a military danger; however, the majority of the Japanese population were law-abiding civilians, so this clearly was not the case. The General's next justification was that the Japanese were not loyal. The Commission found this "disloyalty" to be based on the different culture the Japanese had. This was clearly not disloyalty, but a mere difference in culture and posed no threat to military security. The Commission then wondered how such a decision could have allowed this decision to be permitted when the justification had no clear basis. They found out that it was allowed because many people really did believe that this ethnicity determined loyalty and were afraid of the Japanese. Also, President Roosevelt, wanted to calm the public and get rid of any rumors surrounding the attack on Pearl Harbor.These volumes are the Commission's final report, both the findings (Part 1) and the recommendations (Part 2). Several years later, the government did pay reparations to the families of the interned Japanese.Both volumes are in blue, white and black wrappers and appear unread. Part 1 has only very slight shelf wear, with no marks or damage. Part 2 has a vertical crease from having been folded and there is minor water staining along the top edge of both the rear wrapper and the last page. No other marks or damage.. Near Fine. DG.
