New York, 1992, 1st edition. 368 pp, photos, maps. The panoramic story of the construction of the Alaska Highway, built under the most demanding of conditions, both weather and terrain, built as a result of the Japanese attack during World War II on the Aleutian Islands. The U.S. Army Corps Of Engineers with the use of thousands of Black soldiers, and Indians of the area with their intimate knowledge of the land, achieved a challenging and technological engineering miracle!
