I really did not know too much about the war being so close. This book was very informative and the pictures showed the combatants in action and the climate they had to deal with. Would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in a little known part World War 2.

I was stationed on an Island at the far end of the Aluetian chain in 1966-67. I saw first hand the remnants of WWII and was taken with the history including the sacrafice of the military men & women during that period in the early 1940's. This Book, The Forgotten War is a fasinating factual telling of that period. The old protographs bring it all to life fro anyone interested in WWII, or the opening uo of Alaska to the lower48. I recently was able to recommend this book to another Vet who served there. Thank you.
Was total unaware while the U.S. and their allies were fighting wars in Europe and the Pacific, Japan invaded the islands off Alaska and military conflicts took place there also. Interesting and educational
