Alaska s Aleutian Island chain, barren and windswept, arcs for over a thousand miles toward Asia from the Alaska Peninsula. In this remote and hostile archipelago is Kiska, an uninhabited sub-arctic speck in the tempestuous Bering Sea. Few have the opportunity even to visit this island, but in June of 1942 Japanese troops seized Kiska and neighboring Attu in the only occupation of North American territory since the War of 1812. The bastion of Japan s possessions in Alaska, Kiska was soon fortified with 7,500 enemy troops, a seaplane base, naval anchorage and submarine base, heavy guns and a labyrinth of tunnels. For thirteen months Japanese troops held a tenuous hold on the island under constant bombardment from American forces, but finally and successfully abandoning the island. So hurried was the evacuation that equipment and personal effects were left behind. The Japanese occupiers of Kiska have remained shadowy figures. Brendan Coyle spent 51 days on Kiska searching out the tunnels, equipment and personal effects frozen in time. Those objects are brought back to life in the over three hundred images Coyle has assembled from his own visit and from archives. His writing puts the images in historical and contemporary perspective, opening a new window on a remote battlefield and unforgiving landscape."

Japanese troops on U.S. soil June 6th 1942, Japanese troops invade and occupy Kiska in the Aleutian island chain only 3 days after their bombing raids on Dutch Harbor. A day later they also occupy Attu. The Aleutians campaign would rage on both sea and land for another 13 months before Japan finally withdrew. Historians believe Japan wished to put America on the defensive in the Pacific after the Pearl Harbor attack, and used this move as a distraction to split the efforts of the then still reeling U.S. Navy. With increasing public fears of more Japanese attacks on the Mainland or West Coast, the War Department felt it would be an important propaganda tool to create an informational booklet about the Alaskan battles, for morale purposes on the Home Front. 50-year-old well-known novelist, Dashiell Hammett, of detective-fiction fame, had enlisted in the Army and was assigned to Adak island in 1943. While there he edited the base newspaper, and also was a writer of this Army booklet entitled, “The Battle for the Aleutians”. He and his other contributors received commendations for this work. He served on Adak until the summer of 1945. Surprisingly heavy on facts and light on propaganda for this era. Filled with clear maps of the major actions/battles, this rare booklet would make a great reference/teaching aid for middle grade or high school history courses.

Excerpt: The Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere ( Dai-t -a Ky eiken) was a concept created and promulgated during the Sh wa era by the government and military of the Empire of Japan. It represented the desire to create a self-sufficient "bloc of Asian nations led by the Japanese and free of Western powers." The original concept was an idealistic wish to free Asia from colonizing powers, but soon, nationalists saw it as a way to gain resources to keep Japan a modern power, and militarists saw the same resources as raw materials for war. Many Japanese were drawn to it as idealistic. Many of them remained convinced, throughout the war, that the Sphere was idealistic, offering slogans in a newspaper competition, praising the sphere for constructive efforts and peace. The Japanese Prime Minister Fumimaro Konoe planned the Sphere in 1940 in an attempt to create a Great East Asia, comprising Japan, Manchukuo, China, and parts of Southeast Asia, that would, according to imperial propaganda, establish a new international order seeking "co prosperity" for Asian countries which would share prosperity and peace, free from Western colonialism and domination. Military goals of this expansion included naval operations in the Indian Ocean and the isolation of Australia. This would enable the...

The Battle of Attu, which took place from 11-30 May 1943, was a battle fought between forces of the United States, aided by Canadian reconnaissance and fighter-bomber support, and the Empire of Japan on Attu Island off the coast of the Territory of Alaska as part of the Aleutian Islands Campaign during the American Theater and the Pacific Theater and was the only land battle of World War II fought on incorporated territory of the United States. It is also the only land battle in which Japanese and American forces fought in Arctic conditions. The more than two-week battle ended when most of the Japanese defenders were killed in brutal hand-to-hand combat after a final banzai charge broke through American lines.
