Ghosts in the Fog: THe Untold Story of Alaska's WWII Invasion by Samantha Seiple

I had no idea that the Japanese invaded the Aleutian Islands in Alaska just months after the attack on Pearl Harbor that brought the US into WWII.  Apparently, LOTS, of people didn't know about this.  The US government kept this secret for decades.  Initially it was because they didn't want to cause a panic that Japanese forces were so close and possibly gaining a foothold in the US, later it was because the government did not want to talk about how the native Alaskan people were treated by their own government when they evacuated and placed in camps.  This was one of the bloodiest and deadliest hand to hand combat battles and few people know about it.  I found this narrative nonfiction book fascinating!  Just think, if you read this, you may surprise your parents with something that they don't know about their own countries history!!
