I got it because I wanted to get a better idea on what the camps were like, and how things actually went down. I hadn’t been told my grandpa was in a camp until after he had passed, so this was a resource in understanding my own family history in a way that I had otherwise never gotten in any comprehensive way. It was a bittersweet read, as the art is beautiful, the story is extremely well told, and it felt like a really good mix of personal and historical, as it was both very much the story of a man’s family and childhood, while also being a view into the inner workings of the camps, and the politics involved during and after for Japanese Americans who lived through such an unwarranted tragedy. It was very personally touching, I read it in 3 days, I could hardly get myself to put it down. I recommend it to everyone, especially anyone with a strong interest in first-hand accounts of historical events, anyone who is related to a survivor of these camps who wants to better understand what happened and what their relatives experienced, or just anyone who wants to educate themselves or their children on this specific event in US history. Review: One of the best non-fiction graphic novels, ever. For all ages. - This book is wonderful. Simple words explained well, with Japanese words for the time translated and explained perfectly. You get wrapped into the story quickly, and it clearly exposes and explains a little understood episode of American history that deeply affected thousands of American-born citizens as well as their legal immigrant parents and grandparents. It was both educational and touching, and enlightening and satisfying to hear how George Takei spoke out in unpopular fashion and became a popular icon even in his elder years. Very very well-drawn and well-written with detail and compassion for those who lived it and those of us trying to understand it and prevent similar, later. Engrossing for an adult, and maybe a little frightening for young children under twelve, but they could read it if they are especially good readers and have support of caring adults. Absolutely perfect for tweens and teens trying to understand why knowing history is important, and that while government tries to serve and protect, mistakes are made even by well-intentioned people. It also shows that some so-called educated adults who think they are compassionate and informed, can make terrible decisions because of bias implicit in how they were raised. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,936 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1 in Biographies & History Graphic Novels #2 in Educational & Nonfiction Graphic Novels #93 in Memoirs (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (6,401) | | Dimensions | 6.63 x 0.65 x 9.06 inches | | Edition | First Edition | | Grade level | 10 - 12 | | ISBN-10 | 1603094504 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1603094504 | | Item Weight | 1.14 pounds | | Language | English | | Part of Series | They Called Us Enemy | | Print length | 208 pages | | Publication date | July 16, 2019 | | Publisher | Top Shelf Productions | | Reading age | 10+ years, from customers | ## Images ![They Called Us Enemy - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71TX6MAEgzL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An absolute must read for anyone interested in history! *by M***E on November 14, 2021* So I want to start off by saying that I may be a touch bias in this review in that I’m both a massive fan of Star Trek, and also the granddaughter of a man who was in an internment camp himself, so this book felt extremely personal.
