Lange was hired by the US War Relocation Authority to photograph the process of the imprisonment of 11,000 Japanese Americans after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Her photographs proved to be such a powerful indictment of the internment camps that they were confiscated for the duration of the war. 100 of them have been collected here for the first time, providing a potent visual record of the anguish of internment.

205 pp., 104 b&w photos.
