Description

Revealing how the Australian government interned thousands of Australian residents—mostly of German, Italian, or Japanese background—who were considered a security risk during World War II, this volume's compelling essays examine the sometimes disturbing nature of how a nation reacts on the home front when its existence is threatened by war.
