Brian Garfield, a novelist and screenwriter whose works have sold some 20 million copies, was searching for a new subject when he came upon the story of this ""forgotten war"" in Alaska. He found the history of the brave men who had served in the Aleutians so compelling and so little known that he wrote the first full-length history of the Aleutian campaign, and the book remains a favorite among Alaskans.TClassic reprint series (Fairbanks, Alaska) ;no. 4.1,000-mile warWorld War, 1939-1945CampaignsAlaskaAleutian IslandsElectronic books.World War, 1939-1945Campaigns940.54/28Garfield Brian1939-901157Cole Terrence1953-870266MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458235503321The thousand-mile war2014175UNINA
