Given Up for Dead: America'S Heroic Stand at Wake Island
Bill Sloan
Based on firsthand accounts from long-lost survivors, this stirring tale of the "Alamo of the Pacific" will reverberate for generations to come. On December 8, 1941, just five hours after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Japanese planes attacked a remote U. S. outpost in the westernmost reaches of the Pacific.
