History at the Memorial Summer Series with Author Kevin Callahan

Featuring over 700 historic photographs and other original artifacts, Brothers in Arms tells the stories of brothers buried side by side in American World War II cemeteries overseas. These sacred places are found in 14 locations around the world, holding the remains of over 90,000 fallen Americans and listing another 80,000 missing.  Walking among the gravestones, it is especially heart-rending to come across two burial markers with the same last name, two brothers–in one case three–buried side by side. With memories and materials collected from the families who lost their brave brothers, Brothers in Arms puts a face and a story to those names carved in white marble. From North Africa to Europe to the Pacific, Brothers in Arms takes the reader on a journey–of the war, of America in the first half of the 20th century, and of these solemn resting places–all through the stories of these heroic brothers.
