A Los Angeles Times Bestseller Raises timely and important questions about what religious freedom in America truly means. --Ruth Ozeki A must-read for anyone interested in the implacable quest for civil liberties, social and racial justice, religious freedom, and American belonging. --George Takei On December 7, 1941, as the bombs fell on Pearl Harbor, the first person detained was the leader of the Nishi Hongwanji Buddhist sect in Hawai\'i. Nearly all Japanese Americans were subject to accusations of disloyalty, but Buddhists aroused particular suspicion. From the White House to the local town council, many believed that Buddhism was incompatible with American values. Intelligence agencies targeted the Buddhist community, and Buddhist priests were deemed a threat to national security.

A searingly instructive story...from which all Americans might learn. -- Smithsonian Williams\' moving account shows how Japanese Americans transformed Buddhism into an American religion, and, through that struggle, changed the United States for the better. --Viet Thanh Nguyen, author of The Sympathizer Reading this book, one cannot help but think of the current racial and religious tensions that have gripped this nation--and shudder. --Reza Aslan, author of Zealot
