    Found the book. It's none of those you mentioned. It's called "The Storm on our Shores" by Mark Obmascik. It's not a traditional book on the subject. It's about a diary written by one of the Japaneseicon soldiers who died there, a doctor actually. and the US soldier who found it. The doctor was actually an Americanized Japanese man who was forced into service when he returned to Japan from medical school in the US. I can't recommend it one way or the other as I've only read the preface and first chapter and that was two months ago. So it's much more personal than the actual battle books.

    I'm still thinking I have another book on the Aleutians around here somewhere. May have to keep looking.
