But Not in Shame: The Six Months After Pearl Harbor Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)John Toland's book proves to be well written and covered the period right before Pearl Harbor to the Battle of Midway. The book is written with certain amount of balance in presenting both sides of the fence, the clarity of text is clear and it appears to be well researched.
The book explains why the Allies suffered from series of military defeats during the first six months of the war which ended ironically with the Battle of Midway which sealed the fate of the Japanese effort to win the war. The book goes into details of the Allied defeats. While it does covered the entire Pacific area in general, the American efforts are presented here in greater details. The Philippines Campaign for example, got a lot of attention compared to the Singapore Campaign. In the typical Toland's style, the narratives were taken from individuals which were then woven into the general history format.
I found the book to be interesting and informative. Only real deficit appears to be that the book was published in 1961 and some of the information presented may be old news to veteran military readers. But for newcomers to the field, this would be a great introduction to the subject matter at hand.
