Author Hale Bradt, chronicles the story of his parents—two ordinary Americans, Wilber and Norma Bradt—during an extraordinary time, World War II. He offers fresh insight—on a deeply personal level—into the historic conflict as it was fought by the U.S. Army in the Solomon Islands, New Guinea, and The Philippines and by a family on the home front. It is an epic tale of duty, heroism, love, and human frailty. He adds another uniquely American voice to this rich story: a son seeking to unravel the tangled threads of his family’s legacy.
