Completing the Union: Alaska, Hawaii and the Battle for Statehood
J.S. Whitehead
As late as mid-1941 the two territories of Alaska and Hawaii were little known by most Americans. The bombing of Pearl Harbor in late 1941 and the capture of two Aleutian Islands in 1942 made the two territories central theatres of World War II. Once the war ended oth territories became enmeshed in the national politics of anti-communism, radical labour movements, and Arctic policy.
