Generations at War: Book One


May 11, 1943 -- On the tail winds of a violent williwaw, the U.S. army and naval invasion force consisting of 15,000 American boys began the amphibious assault of Attu to drive out the Japanese garrison of a mere 2,500 still holding the island. Attu, at the western tip of the Aleutian island chain, was halfway to Japan. This was to be the pivotal battle of the campaign to finally drive the Japanese monster off America’s soil and prevent a possible future invasion of North America through Alaska. To the war planners of Western Defense Command, the odds were overwhelmingly favorable. The assault would be a quick thirty-six hour operation. It turned into a frozen, hellish nightmare that lasted twenty days. The Battle of Attu ranks second only to Iwo Jima in terms of the ratio of casualties to the number of combatants engaged for a single battle campaign operation. In the annals of WWII history, it was to become known as America’s Forgotten War.
