Captain Allen Brady not only witnessed all of these events but actually participated in them, in many instances as a US Naval Aviator. So many Americans and global citizens alike are not even aware of the importance of these pivotal moments; as generations age and pass on, without important accounts like this one, much is forgotten. More than just a memoir, Brady's book is an important document from one of the last of his generation, reminding us of the pivotal moments that should not be lost to history. Witnessing the American Century is Captain Brady's firsthand account of his incredible life, and his memories elucidate America's role in the most significant world events from the previous century."--Provided by publisher.Vietnam War, 1961-1975Prisoners and prisons, North VietnameseFighter pilotsUnited StatesBiographyPrisoners of warUnited StatesBiographyPrisoners of warVietnamBiographyVeteransFloridaBiographySailorsFloridaBiographyPearl Harbor (Hawaii), Attack on, 1941Personal narratives, AmericanVietnam War, 1961-1975Personal narratives, AmericanVietnam War, 1961-1975Prisoners and prisons, North Vietnamese.Fighter pilotsPrisoners of warPrisoners of warVeteransSailorsPearl Harbor (Hawaii), Attack on, 1941Vietnam War, 1961-1975959.70437Brady Allen ColbyCapt.,1929-1517460Quarles DawnMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910793457403321Witnessing the American century3754561UNINA
