Brothers in Arms brings to life the intense experiences of veterans, victims, heroes, and survivors of our last three major wars that go beyond the battlefields into their lives and the cultural and geopolitical landscapes that framed those wars. Whether one is a fan of war history, inspiring personal memoirs, Americana, or facets of America's past that one likely won't learn about in school or the media, all of that and more await the reader. The journeys unfold accompanied by well over one hundred pictures and historic documents that bring them vividly to life, many of which have never before been published.
Personal interviews capture unique experiences and vanishing history from WW II, the Cold War, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War, told by those who fought, suffered and labored to defend our freedom. Military pilots, infantry soldiers, seamen, POW's and civilians share their compelling challenges as they confronted America's enemies with courage, bullets, sheer determination, and in some of their darkest hours, unshakable faith. Their Purple Hearts, Silver and Bronze Stars, battle ribbons, and even a Congressional Medal of Honor, attest to their valor.
Wars are never fought in a vacuum. In addition to the stories you will read, some thought-provoking questions are raised, including the role of media in shaping, or even bending, public attitudes towards America's involvement in armed conflicts.
