On December 8th, 1941, American soil was invaded for the first time in the war - the small American and Guananian garrison was overrun and two days later the Govenor surrendered the Island to the Japanese. On July 21st, 1944, the Americans would return to retake the island and drive the Japanese invaders away - a day that is still celebrated as `Liberation Day`. Guam: Return to Glory covers the full fight for Guam in 1944, from the first invasion at Asan, in the north, and Agat, in the south through the vicious fighting in the thick vegetation at the south end of the island and the final Japanese stand in the north.
