This book, one of the first ever written on its subject, focuses on
Russian America and American Alaska and their impact on the native
population. From the closing years of the 17th century when the
Russians first set foot on the shores of the far-flung Aleutian
Islands, through the war years, to the reparations hearings of the
late 1970s, it sheds light on the little-known story of the Aleut
people and the events in war and peace that shaped their lives. The
actions that led to the internments of the Aleuts are documented
through official records, letters, and personal accounts that
reveal the true story of a native people who suffered and died in
the camps while posing no threat to national security in time of
war. Dozens of books have been written about the internment of
Japanese Americans. Many Americans are familiar with that story but
are unaware of the internment of native Alaskans in camps that in
some cases were almost as bad as the Japanese POW camps.
