They Called Us Enemy is a graphic memoir written by George Takei and illustrated by Justin Eisinger and Steven R. Scott. 

The book tells the story of George Takei’s childhood in the Japanese internment camps. It begins with him and his family being taken to the camps, and moving from one to another. George, who is both the protagonist and the narrator, describes the other people in camp and his parents’ backgrounds. A pivotal moment early in the book is the no-no, yes-yes debate; Japanese Americans in every internment camp had to choose between their willingness to fight for the country that has turned their backs to them and betray their heritage, or admit support to their heritage and bid farewell to the country they call home. 

The book is sad, authentic and a reflection of innocence and childlike confusion. Its gray scale color scheme yet simpler illustrations, especially of kids, makes readers see the melancholy, gray feeling of the internees and George's obliviousness to the situation.

Throughout the book, it switches to the present, to scenes with George and his husband talking or more recent connections to the past.

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone, especially if they enjoy memoirs and graphic novels like I do.
