OUR FATHERS' WAR(I***N=9780767914208) 英文原版 电子版 免费 pdf 下载 azw3 fb2 caj mobi

It is fair to say that Tom Mathews’s relati*** with his

father, a ve***n of World War II’s fabled 10th Mountain Division,

were terrible. He came back from the war to a young son he’d barely

met and proceeded to bully and browbeat him—for his own good, he

thought. In the course of puzzling out almost fifty years of

intermittent conflict, Mathews came to understand that their

problems were not simply personal, they were generational—and

widely shared by milli*** of other baby boomer s***. And so, to

write this powerful book, which traces the kinetic effect of the

war on the men who fought it, their s***, and their grands***,

Mathews has uncovered nine other dramatic and telling father-son

tales of ve***ns in some ways missing in action and how internal

wa***ounds shaped their lives as fathers. These include a combat

infantryman whose life was saved by the fabled Audie Murphy, and a

black member of the storied Tuskegee Airmen corps. In a moving

final chapter, he and his father return together to Italy to

revisit scenes from the war—and attempt, at long last, to f***e

their own separate peace.

In a very real sense, Our Fathers’ War tells the secret

history of World War II and its echoes down the years and

generati***. In the course of doing so, it offers a portrait of

evolving styles of American manhood that many, many fathers and

s*** have been needing and awaiting.
