Annotation

Drawing on eyewitness accounts by survivors, as well as extensive research, a compelling account of America's first battle of World War II describes the ordeal of American soldiers and civilians who defended Wake Island against a surprise Japanese attack just hours after Pearl Harbor and were forced to endure nearly four years of brutality as Japanese POWs.
