An Alien Place: The Fort Missoula, Montana, Detention Camp 1941-44

Van Valkenburg tells the story about the Italian and Japanese men imprisoned at Fort Missoula during the war: who they were, how their lives took this peculiar turn, and how the small, tranquil college town of Missoula, Montana, became for some, a shelter, and for others, a painful interlude in lives turned upside down by the events of a world war.
