Alaska at War 1941-1945: The Forgotten War Remembered
No reviews
$29.95
Edited by Fern Chandonnet
In the last two hundred years, only one U.S. territory has experienced foreign occupation: Alaska in World War II. Now available for the first time in paperback, Alaska at War brings readers face to face with World War II in the North Pacific. Wide-ranging essays cover the Japanese invasion of the islands of Attu and Kiska, the effects of the war on Aleutian Islanders, the role of minorities in the northern conflict, and the American campaign to recover the occupied Aleutians. Contributions also address the effects of the war on film, race relations, and the construction of the Alaska Highway. Additional chapters tackle the Lend-Lease program and how to preserve historic sites in the challenging environment of Alaska.
Whether you’re a historian or just want to know more about this pivotal period in American history, Alaska at War will provide you with the stories and background to understand how Alaska’s citizens and soldiers endured foreign invasion.
Contributors include Brian Garfield, author of The Thousand-Mile War; Dean C. Allard on the navy in the North Pacific; Stephen W. Haycox on the effects of war on the home front; and Ray Hudson and Dean Kohlhoff on the Aleut experience.
Soft cover. 474 pages. Book measures approximately 8 1/2 inches by 11 inches.
The Oahu Island Atlas and Maps was published in 2010. It's out of print from the original publisher. I'm thankful to Pacific Historic Parks for still having some copies in their inventory. I'm giving my brother and sister a map when they come to visit from the mainland.
We only purchase flags flown over the USS Arizona. We are veterans and a Gold Star Family, having lost family at Pearl Harbor and in Vietnam. Our flags are a constant reminder of the freedoms we fought for and the loved ones we lost.
This book is wonderful! Full of so much information. Amazing stories! I can't imagine having lived through this. Every time we visit Oahu we make sure to visit Pearl Harbor. In October 2024 the park ranger told the story of the bugler and the fighter pilot before we went out to get on the boat to the memorial. Always save room in your heart for grace! Thank you for making these books available when we get back home and wish we were still in Hawaii!
