Summary: (From book) As the Depression worsens, a distant war draws near. Dan O'Brian finds he is once again embroiled with the inner conflicts he had hoped were far behind him after returning from World War I. Dan holds a strong conviction that the United States should stay out of this new war-because this time it is his son, Cory, whose life could be threatened by a foreign menace. But convictions can change.
Through his work as a musician, Dan finds an unlikely friend in Josh Brown, a man who challenges Dan's view of the world. And though both men share a common tragic link to the past, events of the future will soon forever bond the two men's families together.
In an era where the future is as uncertain as it is exciting, Cory O'Brian and Nathan Brown know they must defend freedom, just as their fathers have done. What they don't yet understand are the human costs of war-to those in the battle and those at home.
My Thoughts: Augh...why do these books make me cry so hard? I seriously sobbed towards the end of the book. Something in these stories really get to me and I will be finding the rest of the series as soon as I can to keep the emotional roller coaster going.
I guess my only issue with this one is that I got a little bored with the technical, explaining of the submarines and war machines, but I guess that's because these books are more boy-centered in that regard. It's just so nice to find good series of books that uplift and inspire while teaching about important facts in an interesting and touching manner.
This is a series that I am going to recommend to anyone interested in the Great Wars.
