This vivid diary of life in a Japanese internment camp during World War II examines the moral challenges encountered in conditions of confinement and deprivation.
About the Author

Two and a half years later they were released. Shantung Compound is based on a journal Dr. Gilkey kept during his imprisonment.

Books suggested from various sources for nominations:
let me recommend, A Primate's Memoir: A Neuroscientist's Unconventional Life Among the Baboons by Robert Sapolsky, a Stanford professor and Stiff, The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach, another San Francisco Bay Area author. Both were excellent and written in a lively and witty style.
