Flyboys: A True Story of Courage by James Bradley

3.0

As it is written, it feels like a compressed history of how the Flyboys won WWII in the pacific. It in that scope, it is able to also focus in on 8 airmen who were captured and killed in horrific manners on the island of Chichi Jima.
I think the most memorable parts of the book is former President George Bush's thoughts of his fallen comrades almost 60 years later, and the authors thoughts on veterans who have moved past the atrocities of WWII when younger generations have a harder time with the past. It really makes you think.
