Under Special Circumstances is the story of the impact of the World War II evacuation of the Japanese Americans to concentration camps upon the life of seventeen-year-old Mike Murata, a native-born citizen (Nisei), residing with his family on Terminal Island in the Los Angeles harbor on December 7, 1941. Summarily evicted under a web of suspicion and prevented from tuna fishing for a livelihood, they are herded behind barbed wire into makeshift communities in the hinterlands. History comes alive with the vivid descriptions of life in the camps, Mike's exploits at the battles of Peleliu and Okinawa, his relationship with his Italian American boyhood friend, Jimmy V., and his affair with the vivacious Kathy Kanai. To follow Mike as a soldier, attorney, judge, and congressman on his way to high honors is an exciting learning experience.
