Guests of the Emperor is the fascinating story of Dick
Darden, a young sailor who found himself embroiled in the battle to defend Wake Island at
the outbreak of World War II. The Battle for Wake was one of the most famous sieges in
American history, compared by many to the Alamo. Seriously wounded and taken prisoner,

emphasising the W.W.II experiences.
