When Chief Gunner Hashiro Hayashi took dead aim on British
Columbia's Estevan Point Lighthouse and wireless station on a June
morning in 1942, the realities of war had come to North America.
Sixty years later, the fascinating events of that era and their
impact on both the Canadian and American psyches remain unknown to
much of the world.After conducting decades of research and
interviews with veterans on both sides of the conflict, author
Brendan Coyle now reveals the campaign that included three attacks
on British Columbia, an air raid on Portland, Oregon, and the harsh
battles fought in Alaska. From the foreword: "Brendan Coyle has
done a magnificent job in this comprehensive review of the war on
the West Coast. No other single volume has so neatly tied together
the myriad stories of how the war affected people in British
Columbia, California, Oregon, Washington, and Alaska,"-Jim Delgado,
Executive DirectorVancouver Maritime Museu
