BOOKNOTES: Freedom: A History of US by Joy Hakim (C-SPAN, February 23, 2003)-ESSAY: 'Freedom' tells America's storied past (Dusty Saunders, January 4, 2003, Rocky Mountain News)

[...]One hour, dealing with the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II is "a very important example of how civil liberties came under duress during times of national problems," according to Kunhardt. "This has been one of our recurrent problems."
An hour?
