Description

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 The usa. Sixty years later, the fascinating events of that era and their affect on both the Canadian and American psyches remain unknown to much of the arena.After conducting decades of analysis and interviews with veterans on both sides of the conflict, writer Brendan Coyle now reveals the campaign that included three attacks on British Columbia, an air raid on Portland, Oregon, and the cruel battles fought in Alaska. From the foreword:”Brendan Coyle has done a magnificent job on this comprehensive review of the war at the West Coast. No other single volume has so neatly tied together the myriad stories of ways the war affected other folks in British Columbia, California, Oregon, Washington, and Alaska,”-Jim Delgado, Executive DirectorVancouver Maritime Museum
