The rise of Adolf Hitler, America's Great Depression in the
heartland, the bombing of Pearl Harbour, 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.
