摘要

This resource guide is designed to aid students and teachers in researching Alaskas World War II history. Alaskas role as battlefield, lend-lease transfer station, and North Pacific stronghold was often overlooked by historians in the post-war decades, but in recent years awareness has been growing of Alaskas wartime past. Few people know that the only World War II battle fought on U.S. soil took place in Alaska or that Japanese forces occupied two Aleutian Islands for more than a year. This resource guide begins with a map of important World War II sites and a summary of Alaskas World War II experience. Included also is information about National Historic Landmarks related to World War II in Alaska.
