A very good book about the defence of Wake by Marines and civilians in 1941.
I never had a clear idea of how that battle unfolded.
The defenders were rough on the Japanese navy ships and landing forces and
It seems they might have held the island til Fletcher showed up if they hadn't
been ordered to surrender by commander(s) who lacked clear understanding of
the situation.
I recommend the book.
