Seller's Description:
Joseph Astarita (sketches). James Farmer Front Co. Very good. x, 106 pages. Format is 8.5 inches by 11 inches. Color covers. Illustrations. Maps. Stan B. Cohen has been an author and publisher in Missoula for 32 years and has been a founder or board member of several local museums. Although the fight ended in defeat and surrender of the island's American garrison, the battle of Wake, starting just hours after the Pearl Harbor attack, represented the first defense of an American possession during World War II. Waged against tremendous odds, the battle will always hold a special place in American military history. The Battle of Wake Island began simultaneously with the attack on Pearl Harbor naval/air bases in Hawaii and ended on 23 December 1941, with the surrender of the American forces to the Empire of Japan. It was fought on and around the atoll formed by Wake Island and its minor islets of Peale and Wilkes Islands by the air, land, and naval forces of the Japanese Empire against those of the United States, with Marines playing a prominent role on both sides. The island was held by the Japanese for the duration of the Pacific War theater of World War II; the remaining Japanese garrison on the island surrendered to a detachment of United States Marines on 4 September 1945, after the earlier surrender on the battleship U.S.S. Missouri in Tokyo Bay to General Douglas MacArthur.

The war's first large surrender of military and civilian personnel. Wake and Guam were the scenes of the first Marine Corps defeats since the October 1846 battle near Compton, California.
