Book #or1171080. ISBN #1602391459 / 9781602391451. (filed under: World War 2 ) * stock image, actual book may vary An enlightening elucidation of Japanese brutality in World War II, this book is an honest look at an unexplored facet of the inhumane war crimes of this era. The war crimes trials at Nuremberg and Tokyo meted out the Allies' official justice; Lord Russell of Liverpool's sensational bestselling books on the Axis' war crimes decided the public's opinion. The Knights of Bushido , Russell's shocking account of Japanese brutality in the Pacific in World War II, describes how the noble founding principles of the Empire of Japan were perverted by the military into a systematic campaign of torture, murder, starvation, rape, and destruction. Notorious incidents like the Nanking Massacre and the Bataan Death March emerge as merely part of a pattern of human rights abuses. Undoubtedly formidable soldiers, the Japanese were terrible conquerors. Their conduct in the Pacific is a harrowing example of the doctrine of mutual destruction carried to the extreme, and begs the question of what is acceptable and unacceptable in total war. 37 black-and-white illustrat $12.00 Loftis, Larry Code Name Lise: The True Story of the Woman Who Became WWII's Most Highly Decorated Spy Gallery Books 2019 hardcover.

(filed under: World War 2 ) * stock image, actual book may vary A special 60th anniversary edition of the bestselling re-creation of the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, by the author of A Night to Remember . Sunday, December 7, 1941, was, as President Roosevelt said, "a date which will live in infamy." Day of Infamy is a fascinating account of that unforgettable day's events. In brilliant detail Walter Lord traces the human drama of the great attack: the spies behind it; the Japanese pilots; the crews on the stricken warships; the men at the airfields and the bases; the Japanese pilot who captured an island single-handedly when he could not get back to his carrier; the generals, the sailors, the housewives, and the children who responded to the attack with anger, numbness, and magnificent courage. In piecing together the saga of Pearl Harbor, Lord traveled over fourteen thousand miles and spoke or corresponded with over five hundred individuals who were there. He obtained exclusive interviews with members of the Japanese attacking force and spent hundreds of hours with the Americans who received the blow -- not just the admirals and generals, but enlisted men and families as well. He visited each of the Hawaiian bases attacked and pored over maps, charts, letters, diaries, official files, newspapers, and some twenty-five thousand pages of testimony, discovering a wealth of information that had never before been revealed. Day of Infamy is an inspiring human document and the best account we have of one of the epic events in American history. $5.95 Lord, Walter Lonely Vigil hardcover. . Some wear from use.

(keywords: POPCO) (filed under: World War 2 ) * stock image, actual book may vary This is Walter Lord s best-selling account of the Coastwatchers of the Solomons that remarkable band of individualists who operated deep behind Japanese lines in the dark days of 1942-43. Living by their wits, with the help of friendly natives, they passed along critical intelligence, rescued downed flyers, and saved men from their sinking ships including John F. Kennedy s PT 109. In Admiral Halsey s words, "The Coastwatchers saved Guadalcanal and Guadalcanal saved the Pacific." It is also the story of the natives who helped them, the missionaries they worked with, the downed flyers and castaways they rescued, the Marine patrols they guided, the pilots and submariners who serviced them, and even the Japanese who chased them. To piece the story together, Lord traveled 40,000 miles to interview the participants, pore through archives, and examine private letters and diaries. He even made a three-day hike through the Guadalcanal jungle to inspect the coastwatcher hideout on Gold Ridge, to put readers in their shoes. The result is a major contribution to the history of World War II told by a master storyteller. "A stirring tale of forgotten heroes, splendidly told by a master narrator."--Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. "So much of this exciting tale is new to me. I knew some of these valiant men well. Walter Lord has brought them to life again, and all of us who fought in those distant islands, in the seas around them and in the skies above them, may renew our thanks to those who kept the lonely vigil."--Samuel B.

(filed under: World War 2 ) * stock image, actual book may vary Even now, wrote Christopher Isherwood in his Berlin Diary of 1933, I can t altogether believe that any of this has really happened. Three years later, W. E. B. DuBois described Germany as silent, nervous, suppressed; it speaks in whispers. In contrast, a young John F. Kennedy, in the journal he kept on a German tour in 1937, wrote, The Germans really are too good it makes people gang against them for protection. Drawing on such published and unpublished accounts from writers and public figures visiting Germany, Travels in the Reich creates a chilling composite portrait of the reality of life under Hitler. Written in the moment by writers such as Virginia Woolf, Isak Dinesen, Samuel Beckett, Jean-Paul Sartre, William Shirer, Georges Simenon, and Albert Camus, the essays, letters, and articles gathered here offer fascinating insight into the range of responses to Nazi Germany. While some accounts betray a distressing naivete, overall what is striking is just how clearly many of the travelers understood the true situation and the terrors to come. Through the eyes of these visitors, Travels in the Reich offers a new perspective on the quotidian yet so often horrifying details of German life under Nazism, in accounts as gripping and well-written as a novel, but bearing all the weight of historical witness. $7.50 Lucas, James Alpine Elite: German Mountain Troops of World War II Jane's 1980 hardcover.

(filed under: World War 2 ) * stock image, actual book may vary While Allied propaganda would have us believe that during the Second World War the German population were downtrodden workers, with no rights and totally under the power and influence of the all-controlling Gestapo, the truth is somewhat different. While the Allies saw Hitler as an evil to be removed from power, in 1933 the German people saw him as a savior, able to rescue them from the humiliation of Versailles and provide a strong leader. The German people themselves felt that they had social benefits unmatched by their neighboring states, and that its poverty had been eliminated while their economy had been stabilized. James Lucas presents fascinating insight into the real Reich, a glimpse into the life on the German home front. After many years' research and interviews with civilians and German soldiers, Lucas offers a study of the social, economic and military phenomena of the Nazi regime. $7.50 Lucas, Laddie (Editor) Wings of War: Airmen of All Nations Tell Their Stories 1939-1945 Hutchinson & Co. 1984 hardcover.

On April 4, 1943, ten American prisoners of war and two Filipino convicts executed a daring escape from one of Japan's most notorious prison camps.
