Brothers down : Pearl Harbor and the fate of the many brothers aboard the USS Arizona

Borneman, Walter R., 1952- author

Overview

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]
