I dedicate this book to all the Issei and Nisei who were unlawfully
incarcerated during World War II and yet who still managed to live
their lives with grace and tolerance—for the sake of the children. I
also offer a grateful thank-you to Domenica Di Piazza, my longtime
editor who helped bring so many of my books to fruition. —CG
Young students are the people who will make a difference in our
country. They are faced with so many challenges and bombarded with
information, real and fake. In my lifetime, I have been taught many
erroneous historical facts. Remember, the decisions you make will not
only determine your future but the future of America. —KS
