When Pearl Harbor is attacked on December 7th, 1943, the 443 Marines stationed on Wake Island face an overwhelming onslaught—Japanese bombers in waves of twenty-seven, artillery bombardment from enemy warships, and eventually a full invasion force—armed with only twelve fighter planes and twelve anti-aircraft guns. Led by Major Devereux and supported by officers like Major Putnam, Lt. Kinney, Sgt. Hamilton, and Lt. Kahn, the outnumbered defenders mount a desperate fifteen-day stand, with pilots and ground crews fighting against impossible odds to hold the island. This is the true story of American Marines who refused to surrender, even as the odds turned decisively against them.
