"An Amazing story of Arkansas soldiers and their struggle in the
Aleutians. Sometimes humorous, always serious as their experiences
are told. Hardships and deprivation abound as they prepare for and
join the only battle of World War II fought on the American
Continent. A must-read book for those who want to learn about a
forgotten part of that great war told from a soldier's point of
view."
--Major General James A. Ryan, The Adjutant General, Military
Department of Arkansas
"This is a vivid, detailed account of Arkansas Guardsmen in a
generally forgotten part of World War II. Donald M. Goldstein and
Katherine V. Dillon, who have earned the appreciation of readers by
bringing to publication the impressive works of Gordon Prange,
skillfully blend the experiences of these men with the historical
background of the war in the Aleutians. Their interviews and
correspondence with a large number of these veterans provide the
feel as well as the facts of their taste of combat, the primitive
life, the harsh weather, the monotony--the light and the dark of
their wary."
--Edward M. Coffman, author of The Old Army: A Portrait of the
American Army in Peacetime, 1784-1898
