Product Description
by Richard P. Christensen (Illustrator), J. Lee Ready (Author)
American people bombed, shelled and invaded by a foreign power. Towns overrun. Americans fleeing for their lives. Americans thrown out of their homes and their businesses, enslaved, deprived of essentials, beaten, tortured, and in some cases publicly executed. Their churches closed. Their children taught to despise everything the United States stands for. Is this fantasy? Science fiction? A nightmare? No, it is history. It really happened in World War II. Included in this book are the Battle of Hawaii, the Invasion of Guam, the Siege of Wake, the Battle of Los Angeles, the Battle of Midway, the Battle of Dutch Harbor, the Invasion of Alaska, the Kiska Blitz, the Battle of Adak, the Amchitka Blitz, the Battle of the Komandorskis, the Liberation of Attu, the Liberation of Kiska, the Marianas Turkey Shoot and the Liberation of Guam. This book explains the bloody battles on US soil, in the air and at sea, and the courage that enabled every last acre of desecrated soil to be recovered so that the Stars and Stripes could be raised again over the land of the free and the home of the brave.
