Book Reviews of The Capture of Attu: A World War II Battle as Told by the Men Who Fought There
Book Review: A Fantastic Account
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book because my father fought in the battle for Attu in WWII. He hardly ever spoke about the War but did say Attu was the worst place on earth. The accounts written in this book have given me much greater insight into the things he described to me late in his life. This book has also given me even more respect for the men and women who fought in WWII, and the hardships they had to endure, to protect our freedom.
Excellent book and a must read.
