Product Details:

Defense of the Aleutians by Dominic D’Andrea depicts the often-overlooked Aleutian Islands campaign of World War II, when U.S. forces defended Alaska after Japanese troops occupied Attu and Kiska in 1942. The painting reflects the harsh, fog-shrouded environment and brutal conditions—freezing winds, rugged terrain, and isolation—that defined this northern front. Strategically, the Aleutians mattered because they guarded the northern approaches to North America and key Pacific shipping lanes. D’Andrea’s work emphasizes the vigilance and endurance of American servicemen stationed in a remote theater, highlighting a campaign that, while smaller in scale than others in the Pacific, carried real strategic weight and significant human cost.
