Wake Island in WW2

"Wake island, the Alamo of the Pacific" tells of an unknown (at least to me) piece of history. The Americans and Japanese survivors tell of their experiences during that time. I liked it because I like history. I think it this part of WW2 in the Pacific has been overshadowed by other big battles on other Pacific islands. It is worth viewing.
