On December 8, 1941, Japanese forces launched a surprise attack on Wake Island, sparking a fierce 16-day battle involving American Marines, sailors, soldiers, and civilian laborers. Despite being heavily outnumbered and outgunned, the defenders demonstrated extraordinary bravery and perseverance in their fight against overwhelming odds. Veteran journalist Bill Sloan vividly recounts this intense conflict, the subsequent surrender, and the remarkable stories of the men who fought to defend the island.
