Aleutian Incidents: Journal of PVT Robert A. Allen 1943-1944 - Paperback
by Jeff Kreifels (Author)
Tucked away in the northern Pacific are the Aleutian Islands. This little known theater of the Pacific War during WWII rarely made the "newsreels" at the time, but played a critical role in the war. This personal journal, written by PVT Robert A. Allen, gives a firsthand look at what soldiers stationed in the Aleutians during this time experienced. From weather to women, torpedo juice to poker games, Robert Allen helps you to experience, through his thoughts penciled into a notebook, what thousands of Americans experienced in the Aleutians, from 1942-1945.
Robert A. Allen was my great Uncle. I discovered his handwritten journal in a forgotten box, tucked away deep in an attic of his sister and niece's house in Shelton, Washington. Nearly 80 years had passed since he was a soldier in the Aleutians. Had anyone ever read his journal except him? He is the "author" of this book--I saw my role to present his words as he wrote them, as nearly as possible, so that the reader could experience the life of a WWII soldier in the remote islands of the Aleutians through Allen's thoughts.
