THE THOUSAND-MILE WAR: WORLD WAR II IN ALASKA AND THE ALEUTIANS

by Brian Garfield

Published by Aurum Press. 1st thus. 2004

Nearly fine condition in a nearly fine dustwrapper. A definitive history of this remarkable 'Forgotten War', fought out in a landscape so barren that American servicemen based on Umnak Island planted a single sapling there and sardonically christened it 'Umnak National Forest', and so remote that, as one bomber pilot put it, 'it hasn't even been visited by Eleanor Roosevelt.'. Green boards, silver title to spine. B/w photos.
