The Capture of Attu: A World War II Battle as Told by the Men Who Fought There (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780359139286)

In May 1943 US forces clashed with Japanese invaders in an epic battle on the Alaskan island of Attu. Fighting through the fog and icy rain, avoiding pot-shots from snipers in mountain crevices, lugging heavy machine guns up slippery inclines, and ultimately scaling a 250-foot cliff, the 17th Infantry willed its way to a crucial victory in what the author calls, 'The Queen of Battles.' *Includes footnotes and photographs from the Aleutian Islands Campaign.
