Summary: Good battle history.
Comment: One of the key events of the "Forgotten War" in the Aleutians was the Japanese attack on Dutch Harbor; the first combat on U.S. soil since the Civil War. So threatening was it considered that it was kept secret from the American public lest it cause panic on the West Coast.
Rourke examines the attack and its significance with maps, charts, photos, documents, and memoirs by participants on both sides, giving a clear picture of all aspects of the battle, its planning and aftermath. The reader who wants more information about the ground forces, however, may wish to consult "The Williwaw War", by Goldstein and Dillon, (University of Arkansas Press), which details the experiences of Arkansas National Guard and other soldiers present.

(The "score" rating is an ineradicable feature of the page. This reviewer does not "score" books).
