A battle to make the gods weep

Ondersteuning

An illustrated examination of the daring last stand by a collection of marines, sailors, and other service personnel on Wake Island in World War II – one of the legendary stories of American military history.On the same day that the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, they also launched air attacks on Wake Island, an American marine and naval base in the Pacific. Three days later a Japanese invasion force stormed the island, but were bloodily repulsed by the scratch force of marines, sailors and even service personnel who defended it. Despite US attempts to relieve the island, the Japanese launched a much greater invasion a few weeks later and, despite gallant resistance, eventually caused the US Forces to surrender.This book tells the complete story of the vicious fighting on Wake Island, featuring full-color maps and archive photography.
