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 AmericaâÇÖs past that one likely wonâÇÖt 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.áááááááááááPersonal 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, POWâÇÖs and civilians share their compelling challenges as they confronted AmericaâÇÖs 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.ááááááááááááWars 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 AmericaâÇÖs involvement in armed conflicts. á
