Description of Brothers Down: Pearl Harbor and the Fate of the Many Brothers Aboard the USS Arizona
Review 'This well-organized book is a poignant look at the brothers who were serving aboard the USS Arizona...The moving and unusual angle, excellent research, and the prose's clarity and emotion make this one a winner. '?Publishers Weekly'A fresh account of a well-documented historical event...Borneman's extensive research turns up interesting details...Borneman's broad knowledge and sensitive touch make it an entirely worthwhile experience.'?Kirkus'Many other books have detailed the events leading up to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. But few of them have done so from the perspective of the sailors and Marines who were victimized that day, and none has used the unique point of view of the thirty-eight sets of brothers who were on board the ill-fated USS Arizona. By focusing on these eighty or so individuals from small towns and big cities, Borneman provides not only a unique frame of reference on the day of infamy, but a rich portrait of America in 1941.'?Craig L. Symonds, author of World War II at Sea'Walter Borneman is one of our finest historians, and in Brothers Down he has given us his most personal and affecting story-and one so immersive I often found myself holding my breath while reading his powerful account of the attack on the Arizona. It's that good.'?James Donovan, author of Shoot for the Moon and A Terrible GloryPraise for MacArthur at War'As he did with his previous WWII narrative, The Admirals, Walter Borneman does full justice to yet another colossus of WWII. It took flawed giants to forge victory and this account of the legendary Douglas MacArthur, warts and all, is superb history and an enormously enjoyable read. You can't ask for more.'?Alex Kershaw, New York Times bestselling author of The Bedford Boys and The Longest Winter'A no-holds-barred portrait of a controversial figure and a feast for World War II aficionados.'?Kirkus Reviews (starred review)'Irresistible.... A necessary read for anyone who attempts to understand the man.'?Joseph C. Goulden, Washington Times'Placing the human story of the Arizona among the political melee that surrounded the United States entering World War II adds great depth to the history of December 7, 1941, and honors those unable to tell their tales for themselves.'?Library Journal Read more About the Author Walter R.

He lives in Colorado. Read more
