Publishers occasionally ask me to review books that deal with history or historical fiction. I felt that this one, One Long Night, would be important to those who participate here on RP. If anyone had asked me if concentration camps aare a necessary evil or are they simply places where acts of evil must always occur, I once thought I knew the answer. However, after reading One Long Night, author Andrea Pitzer’s global history of concentration camps, I’m not so sure. Check out my review if you think you know or know that you don't.
Are concentration camps a necessary evil?

Did the author fully cover Valeriano Weyler both in Cuba and the Philippines?

CPT Jack Durish - I was wondering about that. It is interesting that in the 1905 Philippine history book that I sometimes reference has a section regarding his actions in the Philippines. I will have to check my Subic Bay history book on this subject also.

Camp of internment of enemy combatants yes. In Vietnam we had relocation villages. We moved the people to protect them not to Jail them. we moved then so they would not be shot by Charlie or us.

POW, refugee, an concentration camps are different things. Yes, we tried moving people to "secure villages" but it didn't work very well. This author takes a deep dive into that topic
