The surprise attack on the United States fleet on December 7, 1941, has never been told through the eyes of the seventy-eight brothers serving together aboard the battleship Arizona. In an era when family members serving together was encouraged, sixty-three of the Arizona’s 1,177 dead were brothers. Integral to their story are the parents, wives, and sweethearts who worried over them.
