The Aleutian Islands Campaign: The History of Japan’s Invasion of Alaska during World War II by Charles River Editors
2016/42pgs

This is not a long history book. To be precise, it’s more of a lengthy synopsis on the Aleutian Islands Campaign that doesn’t go into great detail like other historical novels. It’s a simple narrative of the events of the invasion and occupation of the Aleutian Islands by the Japanese in 1942. Then the explosion of the occupiers by the US in 1943. This is a forgotten war. Many of our history books about WWII just give this campaign a footnote. Sadly, the results from this campaign are not known except by those that research the war.

If one wants a fast simple read about the Aleutians War, I would recommend this book. There are more details then what Wikipedia presents, however, not too much more. I wouldn’t recommend the $10 on Amazon. This is a great Kindle Prime book.

Enjoy great coffee and a good book!
