Summary

We interview author Walter Borneman about his riveting book BROTHERS DOWN, which is the story of the heroes aboard the USS Arizona, which was dive-bombed and sunk by Japanese planes on December 7th, 1941. 63 of the Arizonas 1, 177 dead were brothers. At this point going into WWII, fathers, sons, and brothers serving together were not uncommon. Author Walter Borneman gives us a preview here of a story that needs to be shared and remembered- that America must always maintain its vigil and must be ready at all times to defend herself.
