Pacific Alamo.
WWII Battle of Wake Island - Alamo of the Pacific.
Mr. Wukovits talked about his book, [Pacific Alamo: The Battle for Wake Island], published by New American Library. Military historian Wukovits described the full story of the battle of Wake Island. On December 11, 1941, in an attempt to land on the atoll, Japanese planes bombed twelve aircraft. Marine, Navy and Army personnel, and civilian construction workers stationed on the island launched a defense. The result was a protracted and costly battle for Japan, in which American casualties numbered 124, while Japanese losses were approximately 1000. The author talked about his research, including Japanese reports and interviews with survivors. He suggested that the battle of Wake Island was a positive turning point in civilian attitudes about World War II. After his presentation Mr. Wukovits answered audience members' questions..
