December 7, 1941-at exactly 7:55 a.m. on a seemingly peaceful Sunday morning, the United States was plunged into the greatest war in history! What were the events which determined the Pearl Harbor catastrophe? What were the last few days on Wake Island like? What really occurred on the infamous Bataan Death March and why did it happen? How did MacArthur make his dramatic escape from Corregidor? And what is the story behind the greatest capitulation in American history, General Wainwright's forced surrender of the Philippines? But Not in Shame begins with the race to decode intercepted secret Japanese messages the day before the Pearl Harbor attack, and ends six months later with the stunning victory which unexpectedly turned the tide-the Battle of Midway. More than an exciting narrative of battles and leaders, it is a story of the individuals on both sides who took part in the most critical decisions and momentous events.… (més)

John Toland was an historian who conducted extensive interviews with prominent figures on both sides of WWII. He was a relief from the very nationalistic approach provided by the official histories, and the war correspondents cashing in on their wartime work. he was also a good prose stylist with an eye for the telling detail. The first six months of the Pacific War was a touchy subject for the American military when these books were hitting the stands, so the srtyle of exposure was much needed. (

A often depressing story of the first six months of America's entry into World War Two. Beginning with the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Philippines, Hong Kong, Wake Island, and Singapore, this book provides moving accounts of the war efforts of Britain and the United States against Japan. The story concludes with the story of the 'miracle at Midway," presented as an exciting page-turner. As with many of Toland's histories, this book is based upon the author's thousands of hours of interviews with the actual participants and includes many interesting side-stories against the big picture of the major battles.

But Not In Shame by John Toland is a history of the first six months of the war in the Pacific. A terrible time with multiple defeats until the turning point battle at Midway are covered. A fair history, pulling the various threads of the battles that were lost, including Manila (and Corregidor). I give this book 4 stars (

La pubblicazione dei diari di Lord Alanbrooke, rappresenta un avvenimento assai più importante e completo delle opere sulla seconda guerra mondiale di Churchill e di Eisenhower, di De Gaulle e di Montgomery: Tempo di guerra è un monume ntale affresco di storia contemporanea, composto dall'uomo che fu capo di Stato Maggiore Imperiale inglese, e che venne reputato il vero artefice della vittoria alleata.

Indice: Parte Prima - Tabella di marcia della conquista; Parte Seconda - La difesa si sgretola; Parte Terza - La battaglia per Bataan; Parte Quarta - Morte di due imperi; Parte Quinta - "Bastardi che combattono a Bataan"; Parte Sesta - Dall'umiliazione alla vittoria. (
