Mrs. Weglyn's book makes a shambles out of this thesis, and her book presents "chapter and verse" anecdtotes which refute the contention that somehow these innocent men, women, and children were somehow a threat to the U.S. during ...             Fortnight of Infamy: The Collapse of Allied Airpower West of Pearl Harbor2 reviews John Burton US Naval Institute Press, 2006 Informative Work on the airforces in the Far East leading up to and including the Japanese attack on US and Commonwealth Forces Having studied World War II in the European and Asian theatres I had never studied in detail the general reasons on the collapse of Allied Forces air power in the first month of the Japanese attack on US and Commonwealth Forces, in and around S.E.Asia and the Pacific during December 1941. The book by John BURTON filled in the gaps dealing with the airforces of the US and British Commonwealth and ...             Adolf, Volume 4: Days Of Infamy (Adolf Series)3 reviews VIZ Media LLC, 1996 Another Work of Art This is the fourth installment of "Adolf". The books keep getting better and better. The character development is unbelievable. The artwork is fantastic. The story is like a roller-coaster ride. I highly recommend this book, especially if you have read any one of the first three.             Days of Infamy: Macarthur, Roosevelt, Churchill-The Shocking Truth Revealed : How Their Secret Deals and ...5 reviews John Costello Pocket, 1995 The most informed and well-reasoned account to date Days of Infamy is a masterpiece. As a serious research book, it is incomparable. Just about every assertion is thoroughly documented with American, British, Japanese, German and even some Dutch and Soviet sources. John Costello also thoroughly comments on the major previous efforts to explain the surprises at the start of Pacific War. He clearly and thoroughly points out what the previous ...             Nuremberg : Infamy on Trial32 reviews Joseph E. Persico Penguin (Non-Classics), 1995 Everything you ever wanted to know about the Nazis This is one of the only nonfiction books I've ever read, and it was well worth the effort. Although nearly everyone will be quick to place Hitler at the top of their 'most evil men in history' list, the rest of the Nazi coterie are not so well known, and what we find is a cast of characters worthy of any fictional account. You have Albert Speer, the sensitive and morally astute architect who ...             Days of Infamy49 reviews Newt Gingrich, William R. Forstchen Thomas Dunne Books, 2008 A well spun tale of what could have happened after December 7 I was unaware of the "alternative history" approach the authors took in this novel, and was expecting more of a personal narrative from different points of view. Imagine my surprise when Yamamoto launched the third attack wave on Pearl Harbor! As I was reading it, I was thinking, "That didn't happen!!! What are they talking about!?". It then dawned on me that this was an alternative history, ...             Visions of Infamy: The Untold Story of How Journalist Hector C. Bywater Devised the Plans That Led to Pearl ...1 review William H. Honan St Martins Pr, 1992 Exciting, Scholarly, Prescient William Honan has done history buffs and strategists alike a signal service in presenting this exciting biography of Hector C. Bywater. Not content with a biography of this journalist, spy and prophet, Honan attempts to do more: understand Bywater's intellectual development--a transformation which led him to foresee what others felt was absurd: a trans-Pacific war between the U.S. and Japan. ...             Days of Infamy (Pearl Harbor)55 reviews Harry Turtledove Roc, 2005 A suspenseful masterpiece that makes you wish for more. First I must admit to some surprise at the differing reviews for "Days of Infamy". I loved it. Yes, it is WW2 but a quite different scenario than his other books in this time. In this book, Japan follows up her attack on the `sleeping giant" with an invasion. He looks at a reaction from the shattered U.S forces and a hasty response from the main land later. I found the book to be a "page ...             Day of Infamy: Attack on Pearl Harbor (Graphic History)2 reviews Steve White Osprey Publishing, 2007 A much more accessible format and history The same is achieved in Steve White's DAY OF INFAMY: ATTACK ON PEARL HARBOR, which provides a colorful graphic novel focusing on Pearl Harbor events. These histories will also appeal to young adults studying the facts of military history - this audience will find a much more accessible format and history, here.             Day of Infamy, 60th Anniversary: The Classic Account of the Bombing of Pearl Harbor28 reviews Walter Lord Holt Paperbacks, 2001 No Battleship has yet been sunk by bombs! The full quote is "It is significant that despite the claims of air enthusiasts no battleship has yet been sunk by bombs." Those telling words appeared next to a photograph of the USS Arizona at sea and were printed in a US Army-Navy pamphlet dated 29 November 1941. Just 8 Days later the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbour in what President Roosevelt later called "This day of Infamy." During ...             Days of Infamy Joan Hudson Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc., 2004 Author Joan Hudson has found her niche in imaginative literature and poetry. In this volume of poetry, Ms. Hudson explores one of Shakespeare?s many themes, the nature of love and its ephemeral quality, and the necessity, but instability, of the object of love ? that is, the beloved. Nostalgic and oftentimes narrative, this author presents some historical events from the hardships of pioneer life to Detroit nostalgia to the September 11th ...             Ss: Roll of Infamy5 reviews Christopher Ailsby Motorbooks International, 1997 The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. This is an excellent resource to have nearby for anyone who wants to read about the SS in WWII. The author gives a brief biography along with facts and photographs of over 200 individuals who held power in this fearful organization and who were responsible for ensuring that the Third Reich's evil empire succeded in it's goals of establishing Nazi rule in Europe. Here we see who these leaders ...             Between Exaltation and Infamy: Female Mystics in the Golden Age of Spain Stephen Haliczer Oxford University Press, USA, 2002 One day in 1599, in the Spanish village of Saria, seven-year-old Maria Angela Astorch fell ill and died after gorging herself on unripened almonds. Maria's sister Isabel, a nun, came to view the body with her mother superior, an ecstatic mystic and visionary named Maria Angela Serafina. Overcome by the sight of the dead girl's innocent face, Serafina began to pray fervently for the return of the child's soul to her body. Entering a trance, she ...             Infamy13 reviews John Toland Anchor, 1992 Toland makes his case...but it's still just an indictment and not a conviction Due to his impressive body of work including "The Last Hundred Days" and "Adolph Hitler," John Toland will always demarcate the gold standard in history writing. Thorough going in his research, dogged in pursuing surviving sources for their versions of meetings and moments and recollections, Toland's work shows what really good history writing can be. In this way, it should probably be ...             Realms of Infamy (Forgotten Realms Anthology)4 reviews Wizards of the Coast, 1995 The Many Faces of Evil "Infamous...that means 'more than famous'," or so thought Dusty Bottoms. Infamy, the seedier, more sinister side of the Realms. This collection of short stories (delivering tales about Artemis, Manshoon and others), is a fabulous read, and a great beacon to continue the "Realms of..." series. Whole heartedly I recommend this title. Each story is self contained, and each is well written. ...             A New Universal History of Infamy1 review Rhys Hughes Night Shade Books, 2004 Uneven and Somewhat Unlikeable This book is supposed to be an 'homage' to Jorge Luis Borges, but if I was JLB, I'd say, "thanks but no thanks". Mr. Hughes thinks alot about his talent but he is neither as talented or 'smart' as he thinks. True about half of the stories/pieces work, but when they don't, they really don't. Of the four sections he divides the book into, the first and last sections work the best with the ...             Pearl Harbor: The Day of Infamy - An Illustrated History8 reviews Dan Van Der Vat Basic Books, 2001 An Illustrated Look at the Day of Infamy Author Dan Van Der Vat has done an excellent job in examining the attack on Pearl Harbor in a photographic context. This book contains numerous photos of the attack, both in black and white and color, along with informative maps and drawings. The narrative is very good and provides an authoritative, minute-by-minute account of the attack. Oral histories from both Japanese and American ...             Pearl Harbor 1941: The Day of Infamy (Campaign Series 62)4 reviews Carl Smith Osprey Publishing, 1999 Pearl Harbor 1941 An excellent review for the novice as well as the reader well read about the Pearl Harbor attack. Maps and diagrams reveal the placement of each aircraft and ship. This book also does a good job about detailing how severe this battle hurt the US military. Shocking to realize how little strength the US had in the Pacific on Dec. 8, 1941.
