"[Iwao and Hanaye Matsushita’s] letters are intensely human,
intensely informative, deeply moving. Their publication is a major
addition to the literature on this terrible U.S. mistake. . . .
Imprisoned Apart does something more than recount history—it makes
the reader feel it."
*Statesman Journal*
"Imprisoned Apart by Louis Fiset is a true example of the
perseverance by the Issei to make the best of the situation and to
continue their lives as usual in the shadow of the barbed wire
fences. This book contains the letters that [Iwao and Hanaye
Matsushita] wrote to each other during their separation, the only
accurate account of their years during the war."
*North American Post*
"This is a well-organized, sensitive book. . . . One begins to
sense the cost borne by many Japanese Americans during that war. It
is books such as this which search out and light the more obscure
corners of an event which blighted the lives of thousands of free
Americans."
*Pacific Reader*
"Meticulously researched . . . against the backdrop of our grossly
misguided WWII internment policies, the voices of this poetic and
enlightened couple shine through."
*The Bellingham Herald*
