The surprise attack at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 remains one
of the most traumatic events in American history, destroying a
naval fleet, killing over a thousand crew members, and launching
the United States into World War II. While Pearl Harbor catapulted
a nation into battle, it also shattered military families. In the
week leading up to and including Pearl Harbor, 79 blood relatives
served aboard the USS Arizona. Not only were sons sent to serve on
the ship, but fathers and sons together, brothers and brothers.
Some families sent as many as three. On that fateful day, 63
brothers were killed. In BROTHERS DOWN, acclaimed historian Walter
R. Borneman returns to the critical week of December 7 through the
eyes of these families. A deeply heroic story of sacrifice and
leadership, Borneman traces the lives of these men, their
relationships, and their fateful experience on the USS Arizona.
More than just an account of familial bonds, everlasting
patriotism, and national heartbreak, BROTHERS DOWN captures the
turning point in American military history.
