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.
I bought this special flag to honor the memory of my dear father Donald Hiorns. Once a day of celebration ,in our family, 9-11 turned into a horrific day for so many. My father suffered a series of strokes that cost him his life a couple of weeks later. He was a proud Navy veteran. I would like to think he was unaware our beloved country was under attack. This special flag was flown at another place where America was under attack, Pearl Harbor. A beautiful way to honor my father a proud American that loved our country...
Thank you for flying this flag on the anniversary of his passing. I will cherish it forever and it will be passed on to future family members with the flag presentation certificate detailing this special memorial.
I was in Hawaii many years ago and wasn't collecting refrigerator magnets at that time. I want to add one to my collection and I found this magnet I was very pleased with the magnet itself along with how quickly I received it.
Aloha
Thank you so much for attending to our concerns in a timely manner and with professional care. We received our cross and just love it. We gave it to our Great granddaughter and we are sure she will grow up and wear the cross with pride. It is beautiful and well made. Gods blessings upon you all.
Sincerely, J Sprinkle
