But Not In Shame [Audio Cassette]

John Toland (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 1, 1988

What were the events which determined the Pearl Harbor catastrophe? What were the last few days on Wake Island like? What really happened on the infamous Bataan Death March and why did it happen? How did MacArthur escape from Corregidor? And what is the story behind Wainwright's forced surrender of the Phillippines?

BUT NOT IN SHAME is the story of those dark, crucial months during which American armed forces as well as civilians fought to reverse the greatest series of military disasters in our history.

The book begins with the race to decode intercepted Japanese messages days before Pearl Harbor and ends six months later with the stunning victory which unexpectedly turned the tide--the Battle of Midway.

5.0 out of 5 stars But Not In Shame, April 7, 2010

This review is from: But Not in Shame (Paperback)

I had found this book in a library years ago and read it. Recently I decided I wanted a copy for my personal collection and found it through Amazon. It's an absolutely excellent book. What's more, the copy I received is in almost unbelievable condition, almost new. The book itself should be read by anyone wanting a different perspective on the beginnings of WWII, and should be read by anyone who prides themselves as a military historian or scholar.

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful, a must for anyone who wants to understand the Pacific Theater of Operations in WWII, February 17, 2007

This review is from: But Not in Shame (Hardcover)

It is to John Toland's tremendous credit that so much information about the Second World War has been collected for countless generations.
But Not In Shame represents Toland's incalculable hours of research, traveling throughout the former Pacific Theater not long after so many bitter battles had ended.
Unlike many early WWII scholars, Toland's writing style is surprisingly contemporary, comparable to current historical writers.
But Not In Shame is a volume of detailed anecdotes and play-by-play accounting of the America's desperate dawn days of WWII.
Much of Toland's writing centers around the Japanese invasion of the Philippines and the climax of Midway with great stories of the men and women at Pearl Harbor, Wake, Guam and the atrocities of the march from Bataan as well.
An excellent book that will provide readers with perhaps one of the best understandings of the events surrounding the Filipino-American retreat to Bataan and Corregidor and their subsequent fall.
