Allegiance

Kermit Roosevelt, constitutional scholar, author and scion of one of America's most important political dynasties, has written a new novel that combines his interest in constitutional history and good storytelling. If you're a regular listener, the subject is already familiar to you: the incarceration of over 100,000 innocent Americans of Japanese descent in concentration camps during World War II. The book, called "Allegiance," is set mostly at the Supreme Court, where Kermit served as a clerk, and at the Tule Lake camp, where "troublemakers" were confined. It's serious fiction, but it's also fun; there's even a murder mystery. But don't worry -- we won't give away the ending.Join us!
