Inquisition: The Hunt for Japanese American Disloyalty in World War II tackles a dark episode of American history: the internment of Japanese Americans in the early 1940s.

are some scholars arguing that the Opium War actually had nothing to do with the opium. In their views, opium is merely an external excuse and the war was inevitably to happen even if British sold other commodities to China.
