{"product_id":"wake-island-1941-jim-moran-9781849086035","title":"Wake Island 1941: A Battle to Make the Gods Weep","description":"During Wolrd War II (1939-1945), on the same day that the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, they also launched air attacks on Wake Island, an American marine and naval base in the Pacific. Three days later a Japanese invasion force stormed the island, but were bloodily repulsed by the scratch force of marines, sailors and even service personnel who defended it. Despite US attempts to relieve the island, the Japanese launched a much greater invasion a few weeks later and, despite gallant resistance, eventually caused the US Forces to surrender. This book tells the complete story of the vicious fighting on Wake Island, one of the near-legendary 'last stands' made by US military forces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jim Moran\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1849086036\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781849086035\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/20\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 7.20w x 0.30d","brand":"Jim Moran","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46974653595903,"sku":"9781849086035","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5f4768d1-e5ec-4027-b525-7116b1a88e02.jpg?v=1750875665","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wake-island-1941-jim-moran-9781849086035","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
