Experience the forces that shaped an A merican icon -- and America itself -- in this gripping tale of courage\, c ountry\, loyalty\, and love. George Takei has captured hearts and minds wo rldwide with his captivating stage presence and outspoken commitment to eq ual rights. But long before he braved new frontiers in Star Trek\, he woke up as a four-year-old boy to find his own birth country at war with his f ather's -- and their entire family forced from their home into an uncertai n future. In 1942\, at the order of President Franklin D. Roosevelt\, ever y person of Japanese descent on the west coast was rounded up and shipped to one of ten "relocation centers\," hundreds or thousands of miles from h ome\, where \;they \;would be held for years under armed guard. "T hey \;Called \;Us \;Enemy" is Takei's firsthand account of tho se years behind barbed wire\, the joys and terrors of growing up under leg alized racism\, his mother's hard choices\, his father's faith in democrac y\, and the way those experiences planted the seeds for his astonishing fu ture. What is American? Who gets to decide? When the world is against you\ , what can one person do? To answer these questions\, George Takei joins c o-writers Justin Eisinger &\; Steven Scott and artist Harmony Becker fo r the journey of a lifetime. -From the Publisher
