Attu: The Forgotten Battle tells the compelling story of the grueling battle in a mountainous terrain to reclaim the freezing and fogbound Aleutian Island of Attu from the Japanese in May 1943. Historian John Haile Cloe takes the reader through each day of the battle, followed by telling of the aftermath and lessons learned from the battle and its effect.
