Hodgepodge 287/365 - Book List for My WWII Project

I have a long reading list, research for my "novel" that treats, in part, the Japanese American internment during World War II. I think it's time to fit it into my schedule . . . Most of these are books that I actually own, and some of them I've actually read. But there are a lot to go, even just for skimming/note-taking purposes. Must get cracking!
