Pacific Alamo: The Battle for Wake Island Hardcover - 2003
by John F. Wukovits
It happened in the shadow of Pearl Harbor-mere hours after the first attack on the day that would "live in infamy." But few know the full story of Wake Island.
Now a prominent military historian, breaking new ground on the assault, relates the compelling events of that day and the heroic struggle that followed. Thanks to the brave Marines stationed there-and the civilian construction workers who selflessly put their lives on the line to defend the island-what was supposed to be an easy victory became a protracted and costly battle for Imperial Japan. This is the story of that battle, from survivors on both sides, and with a gallery of historic photos.
First line
President Franklin D. Roosevelt sat in the White House study on December 7, 1941, an aging leader suddenly appearing older and wearier.
