In \u003ci\u003eA Principled Stand\u003c\/i\u003e, Gordon's brother James and nephew Lane have brought together his prison diaries and voluminous wartime correspondence to tell the story of \u003ci\u003eHirabayashi v. United States\u003c\/i\u003e, the Supreme Court case that in 1943 upheld and on appeal in 1987 vacated his conviction. For the first time, the events of the case are told in Gordon's own words. The result is a compelling and intimate story that reveals what motivated him, how he endured, and how his ideals changed and deepened as he fought discrimination and defended his beliefs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Principled Stand\u003c\/i\u003e adds valuable context to the body of work by legal scholars and historians on the seminal Hirabayashi case. This engaging memoir combines Gordon's accounts with family photographs and archival documents as it takes readers through the series of imprisonments and court battles Gordon endured.
