 justice\; it is a moving story of faith. In this path breaking account\, D
 r Williams reveals how\, even as they were stripped of their homes and imp
 risoned in camps\, Japanese-American Buddhists launched one of the most in
 spiring defenses of religious freedom in our nation&rsquo\;s history\, ins
 isting that they could be both Buddhist and American. Dr Williams is Profe
