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. 410 0$aClassic reprint series (Fairbanks, Alaska) ;$vno. 4. 517 3 $a1,000-mile war 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xCampaigns$zAlaska$zAleutian Islands 607 $aAlaska$2gnd 607 $aAleuten$2gnd 607 $aAlaska$zAleutian Islands$2fast 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xCampaigns 676 $a940.54/28 700 $aGarfield$b Brian$f1939-$01867687 701 $aCole$b Terrence$f1953-2020.$01860975 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910973915003321 996 $aThe thousand-mile war$94475365 997 $aUNINA
