From the dust jacket:
"But Not In Shame is the dramatic story of those dark and crucial months during which American soldiers, sailors, and marines - as American soliders, sailors, and marines - as well as civilians - fought bravely with what they had to stem the greatest series of military disasters in our history. The book 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.
Here are the personal narratives of men like Navy Lieutenant Champlin, who on his own initiative destroyed the great oil reserves at Manila. Of Yates McDaniel, the last correspondent out of Singapore. Of the Dutch Admiral Helfrich, who was determined to fight to the end in Java against all odds. Of the Japanese officer whose all-too-human decision during the Battle of Midway contributed to an American victory.
Based on extensive and often new research, But Not In Shame recaptures a remarkable period in American history, a time not only of unequaled crisis but of matchless human interest and drama."

What My Buyers Should Know (FAQ):
- I make a point of disclosing everything I know about each and every item I'm selling. If something isn't saleable I don't sell it.
- Payment is due within 3 days of purchase except for "Buy It Now" items where payment is required at the time of purchase. If there is a problem contact me.
- All items are shipped within 24-72 hours of payment (weekends & holidays take longer). There is a $1.50 handling fee on the first item and $1.00 on additional items. I take great care to pack each item carefully and this charge covers bubble wrap, tape, envelopes and/or boxes, labels and delivery confirmation. I hope you consider this reasonable.
- I use PayPal to create shipping labels. I use the option to send the buyer an email at the time of shipping so you will know the item has been shipped and, if the method of shipment provides one, you are given a tracking number. This applies to ALL shipments where PayPal is used. I know not all emails get thru and I also know that not everyone reads their email BUT I SEND YOU NOTIFICATION OF SHIPMENT so if you don't hear from me contact me and I will verify the shipping details.
- Any item that is breakable requires insurance.
- Any item over $50.00 requires insurance. Insurance is otherwise optional. However I cannot be responsible for items once they have been given to the post office.
- I am willing to consider shipping outside of the U.S. Please email me. You must use PayPal and have good feedback.
- I am always willing to combine shipping on like items so as to ensure the lowest postal rates.
- Most items I sell are vintage, therefore used, and can be returned within 7 days only if the item(s) were mis-advertised or misrepresented. Please notify me by email within 3 days of receipt to let me know of your intention to return the item. Item must be in my hands within 7 days from date of receipt so I can relist it. Return it fully insured (if originally insured), in perfect condition in the original box with all materials enclosed. Buyer is responsible for shipping and handling charges. Refund is given as merchandise credit.
- I provide feedback when the transaction is complete. In other words once the buyer has received the item and left feedback for me then I consider the transaction complete and will leave feedback for you. Positive feedback is appreciated.
IT IS UNDERSTOOD THAT IF YOU PURCHASE FROM ME YOU KNOW AND AGREE WITH THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
