We Fought the Road - Pub date 10/15/17
The story of the building of the Alaska-Canada Highway during World War II. More than one third of the 10,607 builders were black; thought to be incapable of performing on a war front by many of their white commanding officers. Their task—which required punching through wilderness on a route blocked by the Rocky Mountains and deadly permafrost during the worst winter on record—has been likened to the building of the Panama Canal. Unlike most accounts that focus on the road’s military planners, We Fought the Road is boots-on-the-ground and often personal, based in part on letters from the “Three Cent Romance” the successful courtship via mail discovered in the authors’ family papers.
