Executive Order 9066 put roughly 120,000 Americans of Japanese descent behind barbed wire with the machine gun posts pointed inward. No charges, no trial. Many of the men in those camps
volunteered for the US Army anyway, and the unit they formed became the most decorated in American military history for its size and length of service.
Chris Cheng spent six years researching them. He joins us to talk about his new novel, Proven in Blood, why "internment" is the wrong word, and why the president who signed that order still gets a pass. Also this week: where your election money should really go, how ammunition actually works, Maryland's attempt at its own SB2, and Stump My Nephew.
