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? 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.
