OUR FATHERS' WAR(ISBN=9780767914208) 英文原版 txt umd azw3 下载 fb2 pdf 在线 免费

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

father, a veteran 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 millions of other baby boomer sons. And so, to

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

war on the men who fought it, their sons, and their grandsons,

Mathews has uncovered nine other dramatic and telling father-son

tales of veterans in some ways missing in action and how internal

war wounds 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 forge

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

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

evolving styles of American manhood that many, many fathers and

sons have been needing and awaiting.
