Manzanar.

Times Books, New York: 1988. Hardcover with dustjacket. Very good condition. On March 21,1942, the United States government quietly posted the first in an ominous series of Civilian Exclusion Orders in communities throughout the West. These orders would ultimately deny more than 110,000 men,women and children of Japanese descent their liberty and property, and would consign them for a period of up to four years to one of ten barren, isolated American concentration camps built specifically to contain them. Eloquent and important, by turns tragic and uplifting, Manzanar is the sobering chronicle of that unhappy episode in American history. This camp lay in a harsh yet strangely beautiful setting,on the edge of the desert along the eastern slope of California's Sierra Nevada.

THE ALGIERS MOTEL INCIDENT.

New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1968. Book club edition. A detailed study of one incident that occurred during the Detroit Riots of 1967: in response to a report of shots, the police rushed to the motel where they found 10 black men and 2 white women. When they left, 3 of the men were dead, and the others were severely beaten, but no guns had been found, and the police involved did not report the incident. Hersey goes beyond this incident to look at the assumptions that underlie law and order as it is applied in this country. Very good in very good dust jacket.
