Brothers in Arms Hank and Theo are brothers who share everything: sense of duty, a love of baseball, and a healthy fear of their fierce little sister, Suzie. They have been inseparable for their entire lives. But when America is drawn into World War II, the young brothers find themselves fighting the same war on opposite sides of the globe. As an airedale in the navy, hank now lives aboard an aircraft carrier, the USS [i]Yorktown[/i]. His job is to assist the pilots who soar off each day to engage Japanese forces in the Pacific Ocean. It is a crucial and terrifying duty in the wake of the attack on Pearl Harbor. As the days at sea be3come weeks and months, hank adapts to life apart from his family. He adapts to the fear of torpedoes and dive-bombers. But in an era of prejudice and segregation, it's Hank's choice of friends that might prove the most dangerous of all.
