Japaneses were un-justly interned at camps during World War II - this is reflected in the title "When Fear Was Stronger Than Justice." It was fear that led people to "to believe that everyone of Japanese ancestry.....needed to be removed from the West Coast."
The relocation was also very sudden and happened within a short time after FDR's executive order. The first sentence "(i)t all happened so quickly" attests to that. Many Japanese Americans had to leave their belongings, businesses and careers as they were moved by the US Government.

Combined with "</span><span>The temporary, tar paper-covered barracks, the guard towers" all showed how badly the Japanese Americans were treated in those internment camps.
