Adams, Michael C. C. The Best War Ever: America and World War II. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1994. Michael Adams analyzes the many myths that have emerged regarding the Second World War and America’s participation and action during that war. Adams addresses questions of support for the war before and during the conflict as well as the motivations that brought America into the war. While his ultimate goal is to break down some of the myths, he still supports the cause of the war and simply hopes to create a deeper understanding of exactly how the country participated in and was changed by the war.

Daniels, Roger. Prisoners Without Trial: Japanese Americans in World War II. New York: Hill and Wang, 2003. In this brief monograph, Roger Daniels covers the many aspects of the World War II experience for Japanese Americans including not only the confinement but also the military service of the 100th Infantry, 442nd Regimental Combat Team, and Military Intelligence Service linguists. He also addresses draft resisters, the Supreme Court cases, and postwar resettlement and redress. Daniels is a recognized expert on the subject and his book is arguably the best overview of the various struggles and experiences faced by Americans of Japanese ancestry during the war.
