When I asked my dad what my grandfather did during WW2 he told me that my grandfather had been a cook in the Aleutian Islands. I was wondering if there are any books on that particular area of the Pacific Theatre. What would you recommend?
I hope to look up my grandfather’s service record one of these days to get a better idea of what he did (even if it was mostly standing behind a chow line).
