Little was known about her and much of that was incorrect. There were many who laughed when General Billy Mitchell called Alaska "the most central place in the world for aircraft and the most important place in the world." Now most of us know that Alaska matters. Why she matters, what is going on there, and what her people are like, is told in this authoritative book which will interest both young people and adults.There is a chapter on the little-known Aleutian Islands, as well as other strategic islands of the coast, any one of which may at any moment appear in newspaper headlines.
