THE GOVERNING OF MEN: GENERAL PRINCIPLES AND RECOMMENDATIONS BASED ON EXPERIENCE AT A JAPANESE RELOCATION CAMP, Alexander Hamilton Leighton, hardcover, illustrations, 1954 (6th) printing of 1945 first edition. BOOK CONDITION: fair. The text block is in very good condition, with no tears or dog ears and just a small amount of penciled underlinings and a few highlighted lines. Pages are age-toned.

The brown boards are in fair to poor condition (intact, but with bumped corners and spine, edgewear with a bottom edge partly torn and cut away). 8 ½ x 6, 404 pages, 26 ounces XX [From the preface] In the spring of 1942 the United States Government had its first experience with large-scale evacuation when it removed from the Pacific coastal regions all of the approximately 110,000 Japanese who had formerly lived there. These people were sent to ten Relocation Centers in the West and Middle West, and since they were American citizens and their alien parents against whom there were no charges of subversive activity, the Government adopted the policy of protecting their welfare, developing self-government within the Relocation Centers, and re-establishing economic independence. At a later date, many thousands were resettled in various parts of the United States not under military restriction. The Hon. John Collier, Commissioner of Indian Affairs, was associated with the project from the start because of his extensive experience in the administration of many different kinds of communities. He believed that research and observation through applied psychology and social anthropology should accompany the enterprise from its beginning, since the problems presented by the Japanese relocation were a challenge to democratic principles and an opportunity to gain experience and improve methods. The results, Mr. Collier thought, would have value later in the government of occupied areas, in relief and rehabilitation and in the reestablishment of millions of displaced persons after the war. Through the Commissioner's initiative, and that of the Hon. Oscar Chapman, Assistant Secretary of the Interior, a research activity in the Colorado River War Relocation Center at Poston, Arizona, was jointly sponsored by the Navy, the Office of Indian Affairs and the War Relocation Authority. The project had two major aspects: first, advising the administrative officers concerning current situations in the Center; and second, making observations and analyses that would have bearing on general problems of administration and government, particularly in occupied areas. This book is part of the effort to fulfill the second. Those who are familiar with the Center will note that the story deals with only one of the three units which made up the camp, that many events are omitted, and that certain persons and organizations have been mentioned in detail while others equally important do not appear. For some of this I must plead ignorance, but in other instances the disproportion is deliberate because of emphasis on central themes.

Hardcover. Condición: Good. [The Japanese Internment Camps] 5th printing. Bound in publisher's cloth. Hardcover. No dust jacket. Good binding and cover. Shelf wear. Scattered underlining and markings. Small stain to front board. Commander Leighton is a psychiatrist and anthropologist who was assigned to go to the Japanese Relocation Center at Poston, Arizona, and 'apply the methods of social science' to that community-find out in terms of human relationships what was working well and why, what was going wrong and why, and attempt to draw general principles from that experience. He fulfilled his mission brilliantly, and his manuscript account was immediately hailed by those who read it as one of the most thoughtful and truly literate government reports ever written. Under the sponsorship of the American Council, Institute of Pacific Relations, Commander Leighton has prepared this fascinating book from the material which went into his report.
