Brothers Down

"Discusses the fact that at the time of the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, many of the servicemen on the USS Arizona were blood relatives." -- The surprise attack at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 crippled America's battleship fleet, thousands of lives were lost, and the United States was propelled into a world war. Few realize that aboard the iconic, ill-fated USS Arizona were an incredible 79 blood relatives. Tragically, in an era when family members serving together was an accepted, even encouraged, practice, sixty-three of the Arizona's 1,177 dead turned out to be brothers. Borneman guides readers on an unforgettable journey of sacrifice and heroism, all told through the lives of these brothers and their fateful experience on the Arizona. -- adapted from jacket
