Synopsis
Smith's narrative history of Japanese-American internment during the Second World War is based on interviews with camp survivors and new archival research. Smith shows how internment, which isolated Japanese-Americans from the rest of society, had the paradoxical effect of speeding up their assimilation into American culture by breaking down the traditional immigrant social structure.

Industry Reviews
"It is, as I suspect Mr. Smith intends it to be, an object lesson in human complexity....As any successful narrative must be, this one is round, not flat, it can be viewed from many sides....'Democracy on Trial' is an arresting story."
New York Times Book Review - Patrick Smith (08/20/1995)

"This is a good book. A 'page turner,' as they say, and as narrative history, it has the feel of a documentary, a novel, a movie....Page Smith is to be commended for his efforts, and I especially appreciate hearing so many voices in print..."
Nation - Lawson Fusao Inada
