He knew that with such a string and with a road to supply them, Alaska could be held; knew also that with Jap islands blockading Vladivostok such a route might well be the only way to send adequate help to an attacked Siberia. The Army road would do for that and later the Public Roads Administration would grade and realign the rough highway. Then, after the war, the people would come.

From the east came the rumble of Jap armies massing to stab Siberia (see p. 21). Stormoviks of the Red Air Force smashed at tanks worming their way through the steppes of the Don. They splashed the skies with smoke, fighting through Messerschmitts toward airfields skulking just behind advance lines on smooth terrain. The Russians were not beaten yet, but they were bleeding from...
