To the majority of Americans, Greenland is little more than a name, a remote, Eskimo-inhabited island of little importance to anyone. Few people were certain of its location to whom it belonged, and fewer cared, until the beginning of World War II. Even then a general vagueness seemed to prevail as to the huge island's importance. Now, rapidly developing world "spheres of influence" make a United States' voice in the control of this strategic island imperative. It is the primary purpose of this to present the story of American occupation of Greenland and of military activity there during World War II and, in so doing, o emphasizes the potentialities of the island in an atomic war or air-minded peace. |
