    Summary: 
    "The story begins in Honolulu in late 1939 with a small but visionary group calling itself the Council for Interracial Unity. In the event of war with Japan, they seek to circumvent a mass incarceration of the populous Japanese community and to mobilize its participation in the U.S. war effort. Their interracial relationships--spanning the public school system, the university, the YMCA and, finally, the U.S. Army--are to be tested to the limit. Their conflicts with President Roosevelt and the U.S. Navy over issues of race and national origin become a chasm. How their advanced planning plays out against the forced evacuation from the West Coast states of 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry is at the heart of How Hawaiʻi Changed America"--Back cover.
