A US Naval Aviator's odyssey through pivotal moments in
20th-century historyThe rise of Adolf Hitler, America's Great
Depression in the heartland, the bombing of Pearl Harbor, American
life following World War II, the Korean War, America's development
of atomic weapons in the Cold War age, the Bay of Pigs Invasion and
the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Vietnam War, and the Mariel boatlift.
Captain Allen Brady not only witnessed all of these events but
actually participated in them, in many instances as a US Naval
Aviator. So many Americans and global citizens alike are not even
aware of the importance of these pivotal moments; as generations
age and pass on, without important accounts like this one, much is
forgotten. More than just a memoir, Brady's book is an important
document from one of the last of his generation, reminding us of
the pivotal moments that should not be lost to history. Witnessing
the American Century is Captain Brady's firsthand account of his
incredible life, and his memories elucidate America's role in the
most significant world events from the previous century. Capt.
Allen Colby Brady is a retired Naval Aviator. Throughout his
thirty-plus years of service, Capt. Brady found himself in the
front row to all of the major events surrounding the emerging Cold
War, nuclear proliferation, America's fight to defeat the
Communists in Cuba, and, most notably, his long stint as a prisoner
of war in Vietnam. Following his retirement, Capt. Brady lived for
over six years aboard a sailboat, even using his sailing expertise
to liberate exiled communities of Cubans in the early 1980s.
