À propos de cet audio

 Flyboys is the true story of young American airmen who were shot down over Chichi Jima. Eight of these young men were captured by Japanese troops and taken prisoner. Another was rescued by an American submarine and went on to become president. The reality of what happened to the eight prisoners has remained a secret for almost 60 years.

After the war, the American and Japanese governments conspired to cover up the shocking truth. Not even the families of the airmen were informed what had happened to their sons. It has remained a mystery - until now. Critics called James Bradley's last book "the best book on battle ever written." Flyboys is even better: more ambitious, more powerful, and more moving. On the island of Chichi Jima those young men would face the ultimate test. Their story - a tale of courage and daring, of war and of death, of men and of hope - will make you proud, and it will break your heart.

I found the stories told in this book are not only fascinating. But the author also does an amazing job of presenting the story without a agenda or favour for the American military or the Japanese military. James Bradley simply explains the thought process of both parties and allows you to form your own opinion. I thought this book was going to be another book glorifying the American military but it is far from that.

A fascinating bipartisan story
