Overview

The Two Terrors of Tulelake Executive Order 9066 on February 19, 1942, forced 120,000 American citizens into 'relocation centers'. The only crime they were guilty of was their ancestry. Ichiro Hisakawa and his family were thrown into a prison camp behind barbed wire and guard towers. They had to endure filthy sanitation, deplorable housing, poor medical services, inadequate education for the children, and a lack of respect for them as American citizens. Ichiro and his family endured hot, dry summers, bitterly cold, windy winters, a typhus epidemic, riots, and hate from inside and outside the prison. Outside the barbed wire fences, a local militia hated the internees. Inside those fences, many of the American soldiers responsible for guarding the Japanese Americans hated them. Inside the camp, a radical group of internees, called Watashitachiha Chusetsudesu and loyal to Japan, hated everyone. The camp became a powder keg with a slow-burning fuse, but no one was prepared for betrayal, murder, and escape. Ichiro eventually found strength in a partnership with Bobby King. Two family sagas that forged their resilient bond that made each stronger - strong enough to work together to deal with the unexpected end of that bond. But how did Bobby King, a sixteen-year-old from 2017, find himself in 1942?
