Bridge to Russia

Ever since the days of Peter the Great, who sent Bering on the hazardous voyage of exploration that culminated in the discovery of the Aleutians, these treeless, volcanic islands have played an important role in world history. The author describes the strange geological formations, the history, heroism of the engineers who carved the air fields, and the Aleution participation in World War II. Morgan has made the Aleutions a completely absorbing subject through skillful research and a style that makes every page absorbing reading.
