It is Monday, 8 December 1941. On Wake Island, a tiny sprung
paper-clip in the Pacific between Hawaii and Guam, Marines of the
1st Defense Battalion are starting another day of the backbreaking
war preparations that have gone on for weeks. Out in the triangular
lagoon formed by the islets of Peale, Wake, and Wilkes, the huge
silver Pan American Airways Philippines Clipper flying boat roars
off the water bound for Guam. The trans-Pacific flight will not be
complete. "A Magnificent Fight: Marines in the Battle for Wake
Island" recounts the marine battle in the Wake Island and
references specific subjects, such as aircraft, personalities, and
campaigns.
