A good novel about the Aleutians has been written by one of the youngest soldiers who went there, Gore Vidal. It is called "Williwaw" and it is a sound, craftsmanlike work that would do credit to a practiced novelist twice its author's age. Mr. Vidal is 20, and he wrote his book when he was only 19.
