John Schmitz was interviewed by Sarah McConnell for the radio program With Good Reason regarding his book, Enemies Among Us. The interview will air on some 120 radio stations and overseas between May 7 and 13. Visit the With Good Reason website here.

Enemies Among Us examines the causes, conditions and consequences of America’s selective relocation and internment of its own citizens and enemy aliens, as well as the effects of internment on those who experienced it. Looking at German, Italian, and Japanese Americans, Schmitz analyzes the similarities in the U.S. government’s procedures for those they perceived to be domestic and hemispheric threats, revealing the consistencies in the government’s treatment of these groups, regardless of race.
