Our usual ANZAC commemoration couldn't happen this year for obvious reasons, but the flag has been hoisted over the Market House in the centre of town today....

John lorelli's The Battle of the Komandorski Islands and Ken Coates and w. Morrison's The Alaska Highway in World War II make good company with Garfield's classic.

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 Japanese
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.

I don't have that one but I read the review it in the January edition of the journal of military history. It does sound interesting.
