Long before George Takei ventured into new frontiers in Star Trek, he woke up as a four-year-old boy to find his home country at war with his father's and their entire family displaced.

In 1942, by order of President Franklin Roosevelt, all people of Japanese ancestry on the West Coast were sent to one of ten evacuation centers where they were detained for several years hundreds or thousands of miles from home.

"We Were Called Enemies" is Takei's account of the years behind barbed wire, the joys and horrors of growing up under legislative racism, his mother's difficult choices, his father's faith in democracy, and how those experiences planted the seeds for his astounding future.
