Download The Jersey Brothers: A Missing Naval Officer in the Pacific and His Family's Quest to Bring Him Home AudioBook Free
The outstanding real-life experience of three brothers at the guts of the very most dramatic turning tips of World Warfare II and their mad contest to change background - and save one of their own. They can be three brothers, all navy men, who wrap up coincidentally and extraordinarily at the epicenter of three of the war's most important moments. Bill is chosen by Roosevelt to perform his first map room in Washington. Benny is the gunnery and antiaircraft officer on the USS Enterprise, one of the only real carriers to flee Pearl Harbor and by the end of 1942 the previous one remaining in the Pacific to defend against japan. Barton, the youngest and least recognized of the three, is shuffled off to the Navy Supply Corps because his mom wishes him out of harm's way. But this coverage plan backfires when Barton is delivered to the Philippines and detailed as missing doing his thing after a Japanese harm. Now it is up to Bill and Benny to find and save him. Based on 10 years of research attracted from archives round the world, interviews with fellow shipmates and POWs, and major resources including diaries, unpublished memoirs, and words half forgotten in basements, The Jersey Brothers is a impressive report of agony and triumph - from the home entry to Roosevelt's White House and Pearl Harbor to Midway and Bataan. It is the report, written with intimate, novelistic information, of a typical son who shows outstanding courage as japan do everything in short supply of killing him. And it is, above all, a story of brotherly love: of three men finding their loyalty to the other person examined under the tortures of battle - and realizing that their success or inability to save lots of their youngest brother will condition their family forever.
