Publisher Description: The backdrop for this story is the little known battle of Attu between the Japanese and the Americans during World War Two. Attu is a small island in the Alaska Aleutian Islands, closer to Russia than mainland Alaska. This story is of two Army Airforce Majors who experienced a great deal more of Russia than they liked after they crash landed in remote eastern Russia. For two years they encounter sub-zero temperatures, lack of food, wild animals, Indians, Russian deserters and the Japanese army. Although these two Majors are fictional characters facing such hardships, there were many soldiers during WWII who faced similar hardships. |
