Battle for the Aleutians: WWII’s Forgotten Alaskan Campaign
June 2, 2017 By Evan Andrews

It began on June 3, 1942, when Japanese forces attacked U.S. positions in the Aleutians, a desolate island chain off the coast of Alaska. The Japanese would later occupy a pair islands in the Aleutians for over a year, setting the stage for one of the most hard-fought—and little-known—theaters of the war.
