pict. paper covers, 93 p. : illustrated,, maps, portraits, a very good copy , "The campaign in the Aleutian Islands was small and seemingly unimportant in the bloody drama that was World War II. About 500,000 American, Canadian and Japanese warriors fought under terrible conditions in the only naval, land and air battles in North America. Before victory, the Japanese threatened Alaska, Western Canada and Northwestern United States. The Canadian Fusiliers (City of London) Regiment gained occupation of Kiska, causing the Japanese to lose their best submarine harbour in the North Pacific. This had been their only strategic base where aerial and amphibious assaults were launched on Canadian and U.S. navies and on Mainland America."--Page 4 of cover.
