| | Details | In the chaotic days after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the Roosevelt administration ordered more than a thousand Axis diplomats living in the nation’s capital and their dependents into detention at luxurious rural resorts including the Greenbrier and the Homestead. Author Harvey Solomon examines the public outrage, diplomatic machinations, and political calculations that stripped away the veneer of pre-war diplomatic bonhomie to reveal deep conflicts among captives and captors. |
