Scarce. WorldCat lists only a handful of institutional holdings. Title and subtitle translate as: Conditions of Japanese Americans and the United States During Wartime. Part 1: The True History of Tears and Blood of Japanese Americans. Contents: 1. 日本人の血涙實史. [Subsequent volumes: 2. 日米戰爭裏面史. 3. 日米戰爭裏面史]. // This first volume of a three-part series on the Japanese-American experience during internment, with subsequent volumes published over the next two years, is titled The Bitter Story of Japanese Americans. As Ichioka notes in A Buried Past, the series title translates to Japanese Americans During the War and the Real Conditions of America. This volume uniquely focuses on Ikeda’s internment and religious views, while later volumes address U.S. government media policies, the atomic bomb, and U.S.-Soviet-British relations. Of particular interest is a fifty-nine-page directory of detainees at the Santa Fe internment camp, listing names, occupations, and pre-relocation addresses by Japanese prefecture. It also includes statistics on camp populations, names of detainees repatriated to Japan, and twenty-eight recorded deaths at the camp. // World War II, Japanese-American Experience, Internment Camps, 1939-1945, Internment camps United States, Japanese Americans, Japanese in United States
