We Fought the Road is 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 roads 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.
