Summary, Etc. "Beloved author Candace Fleming digs into the little-known conflict between American and Japanese troops on the Aleutian Islands during World War II. After Japan invaded American soil in order to help them achieve victory in the Pacific theatre, America sent troops to reclaim the land. What followed was a bloody, deadly conflict that would go unremarked for years due to US suppression of the news. Fleming follows to soldiers, one Japanese, one American (and her own father) in this thrilling, breakneck look at one of the most remarkable battles of World War II"-- Provided by publisher.
