From Publisher:

Within hours of the Pearl Harbor attack, the Japanese struck the small U.S. garrison on Wake Island. As his squadron's engineering officer, Kinney used all of his considerable ingenuity to oversee the repair of damaged planes at Pearl Harbor. After the island's inevitable surrender, Kinney was a Japanese prisoner for more than three years and became one of the few Americans to escape Japanese captivity.
