During World War II, pretty much everything that happened in the Arctic was top secret, hidden from the people, missed by the press and overlooked by historians. But the North American Arctic produced some of the best stories of the war, and some of the most remarkable characters. Drawing from diaries and obscure published works, David Fuselier crafts a highly readable and often very funny appreciation of the people and their epic struggles. And he adds a warning: A rapidly melting Arctic Ocean will become the new hub of world commerce, mineral exploitation and military confrontation. Russia and China are already laying their plans. But as we were in 1941, the U.S., Canada and Greenland are utterly unprepared for the challenges ahead.
