The Thousand-Mile War: World War II in Alaska and the Aleutians
No reviews
$24.95
The Thousand-Mile War is Brian Garfield's masterful history of the blind war fought in the wind and fog of the Aleutians in 1942-1943. Since its first printing in 1969, The Thousand-Mile War has been acclaimed as one of the great accounts of World War II. Nominated for the Pulitzer Prize, it is the first independent study ever written about the only campaign of World War II fought on North American soil.
The war in the Aleutians was fought in some of the worst climatic conditions on earth for men, ships, and airplanes. The sea was rough, the islands craggy and unwelcoming, and enemy number one was always the weather: the savage wind, fog, and rain of the Aleutian chain. The fog seemed to reach even into the minds of the military commanders on both sides, as they directed men into situations that often had tragic results.
Author Brian Garfield studied the official records as well as the personal stories, letters, and diaries of the participants. The result follows the fifteen-month course of the campaign chronologically, tracing the events that eventually combined to dash Japanese hopes of a quick victory while a surprised America was still reeling from the disaster at Pearl Harbor. Frustrating, befuddling, and still the subject of debates, the Aleutian campaign still marks a turning point in the war in favor of the United States.
Brian Garfield is a novelist and Hollywood screenwriter whose works have sold over 20 million copies. He found the accounts of the brave men who had served in the Aleutians so compelling and so little known to the public that he wrote this first full-length history of the Aleutian campaign.
My best friend had a flag flown for my father when he passed, and I wanted to return the Hornor. Placed into a flag box along with the framed certificate is such a great way to remember a great friend that served our great country with commitment and grace. Our 3x5 flag and certificate arrived on time and exactly as expected. Bless you all that do this work for our loved ones.
I ordered the above referenced flag for my son-in-law. It was shipped directly to him. In past years I've purchased a few of the same flags (flags flown on earlier dates) for my wife and myself. Thanks for the wonderful service in shipping this flag to our son-in-law. And thank you very much for the work you folks do for Pacific Historic Parks and for keeping the collective memory of Pearl Harbor and U.S. entry into World War II in the Public's mind!

It is a beautiful design and message. The cotton is very lightweight. The neckline is very wide like a boatneck meets a deep scoop. It is not overly long or thin hitting me just at the hips so it looks dressier.
We needed a replacement for my dad's worn-out flag and after a wonderful trip to Hawaii I decided that the best way to commemorate it was to get this flag. My dad and my father in law both were in the service in WWII. We will be using it in our Northwoods home in Wisconsin.
Love the design of the graphics, but the womans shirts are not even close to size. While in Hawaii a couple of months we bought her a Womans Small at the park. Returned home and it was the size of a child's. I then ordered a Womans Large form this website and it is too small.
Just like the other pink shirt, it is a men’s or unisex cut shirt. I’ve ordered other women’s shirts and they are exactly as shown. Very disappointing!! No one from the shop responded to my email about the cut of this shirt.
This is a men’s cut tee shirt. I emailed asking if they sent the wrong shirt because it isn’t the same one listed and got no response. The design is great and the color is correct but the shirt is huge.
