• Battle of Wake Island, the brutal fight that turned into "The Alamo of the Pacific."

• The Doolittle Raid, the "suicide mission" flown by heroic pilots.

• Battles such as Guadalcanal, Saipan, Iwo Jima and more—where young American men who had never before seen combat would fight a ruthless enemy on hostile Pacific islands. And win.
