"The STORY Of WAKE ISLAND" - By Brigadier General James P.S.
Devereux, USMC (Ret.). On the same day the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor they
also began a savage assault on tiny Wake Island. For 14 bloody days, a small, ill-
equipped contingent of Marines battled against overwhelming odds. The late Brigadier
General Devereux was the Commanding officer (a Major at the time) on this remote
Pacific island and tells a gripping story of the battle and American bravery. This is the
ultimate book written about Wake––Devereux’s eyewitness account is spell-
bounding, one you will never forget. The author goes on to tell of his time as a
Japanese POW and eventually his joyous home coming. Originally written in
1947. 1989 Paperback edition. 192 pages, many illustrations, but no photos. Two
maps, an 8 page appendix but no index.
