In December of 1941, tiger, tiger, tiger was the code phrase that unleashed one of history's most devastating surprise attacks.

Unfinished Business : An Academy Award Nominee for Best Documentary Feature, "Unfinished Business" is "the most powerful and comprehensive film yet on the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II" (Los Angeles Times). In the spring of 1942, more than 110,000 American citizens of Japanese ancestry were uprooted from their homes and businesses and incarcerated in desolate relocation camps. Without hearings or trials, men, women and children were evacuated under Executive Order 9066 - The Wartime Relocation Act. "Unfinished Business" is the story of three Japanese-American resistors - Gorden Hirabayashi, Fred Korematsu, and Minoru Yasui - who courageously defied the government order and refused to go, resulting in their conviction and imprisonment. The film interweaves their personal stories with moving archival footage of wartime anti-Japanese hysteria, the evacuation and incarceration, and life at the camps. It captures the men 40 years later, fighting to overturn their original convictions in the final round of the battle against the act which shattered the lives of two generations of Japanese-America...

A Mighty Fortress: A New History of the German People : The word "German" was being used by the Romans as early as the mid-first century B.C. to describe tribes in the eastern Rhine valley. Nearly two thousand years later, the richness and complexity of German history have faded beneath the long shadow of the country's darkest hour in World War II. Now, award-winning historian Steven Ozment, whom The New Yorker has hailed as "a splendidly readable scholar," gives us the fullest portrait possible in this sweeping, original, and provocative history of the German people, from antiquity to the present, holding a mirror up to an entire civilization -- one that has been alternately Western Europe's most successful and most perilous.
