SCOTT McGAUGH
Honor Before Glory The Epic World War II Story of the Japanese-American GIs Who Rescued the
Lost Battalion
The inspiring story of the Japanese- American regiment that rescued a trapped American battalion and became the most decorated unit of its size in World War II
O
n october 24, 1944, more than 200 American soldiers were surrounded by German infantry deep in the Vosges
Mountains of eastern France. When their food, ammunition, and medical supplies ran out, the area’s Army headquarters turned to the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, a segregated unit of Japanese-American soldiers, to succeed where other units had failed: rescuing the“lost battalion.” In this riveting, gritty narrative, New York Times
bestselling historian Scott McGaugh tells the story of the famous Go-for-Broke regiment, whose soldiers had volunteered for combat from within America’s internment camps. It is a story of a young generation’s fight against both the enemy and American prejudice—a story of heroism, sacrifice, and the best America has to offer.
SCOTT McGAUGH is the New York Times bestselling author of Surgeon in Blue and the marketing director of the USS MidwayMuseum. He lives in San Diego.
