 cuss Jan Jarboe Russell's book\, <em>The Train to Crystal City: FDR's Secr
 et Prisoner Exchange Program and America's Only Family Internment Camp Dur
 ing World War II</em> .  Crystal City was the center of a government priso
 ner exchange program  called &quot\;quiet passage.&quot\; During the cours
 e of the war\, hundreds of  prisoners (Japanese\, German\, and Italian imm
 igrants\, as well as their  American-born children) were exchanged for oth
 er\, more important  Americans-diplomats\, businessmen\, soldiers\, physic
 ians\, and  missionaries-behind enemy lines in Japan and Germany.\n\n<p st

 ican-born teenage girls who were interned\, Russell  uncovers the details 
 of their years spent in the camp\, the struggles of  their fathers\, their
  families' subsequent journeys to war-devastated  Germany and Japan\, and 
 their years-long attempt to survive and return to  the United States. Alth
 ough this little-known event in American history  has long been kept quiet
 \, <em>The Train to Crystal City</em> reveals the  war-time hysteria again
 st the Japanese and Germans in America\, the  secrets of FDR's tactics to 
 rescue high-profile POWs in Germany and  Japan\, and how the definition of
  American citizenship changed under the  pressure of war.\n\n<p style="lin
