After Pearl Harbor, German, Italian and Japanese diplomats, along with their staffs and families, were relocated to two isolated resorts in Appalachia. As the war progressed, other Axis envoys were similarly detained. Based on government documents, the recollections of detainees and hotel staff and contemporary newspaper accounts, this book is the first to focus on the day-to-day lives of the detainees during their confinement.
