Some of the worst military disasters in U.S. history occurred
between Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 and the Battle of Midway
in June 1942. During this period, the American people faced a
barrage of bad news and accounts of defeats and retreats. Yet if
they were shocked and dismayed, they showed little panic.
"Indomitable Will" resurrects the legacy of this first half-year of
American combat during WWII --a legacy of pain, but not of woe.
Historian Charles Kupfer recounts the story of the war's early
defeats: Bataan, Corregidor, Wake Island, and the Java Sea. Some of
these battles remain evocative today; others are obscure; all were
catastrophes for American arms. Kupfer asserts, however, that later
victories were made inevitable by the steeling effect of those
initial disasters.
Weaving together military, journalistic, political, and cultural
histories, this engaging book shows that by setting their
collective will on victory, Americans in and out of uniform gained
strength from their setbacks. Indomitable Will spells out how the
nation turned early defeat into ultimate victory.
