"Four weeks after Navy SEALs had killed Osama bin Laden, President Obama stood in Arlington National Cemetery to deliver his Memorial Day address. He extolled the heroism and sacrifice of the two men buried side by side in the graves before him: Travis Manion, a fallen US Marine, and Brendan Looney, a fallen US Navy SEAL. Although they were killed three years apart, one in Iraq and one in Afghanistan, these two former roommates and best friends were now buried together-"brothers forever." Award-winning journalist Tom Sileo and Travis's father, Colonel Tom Manion, USMCR (Ret.), tell the intimate and personal story of how these Naval Academy roommates defined a generation's sacrifice in Afghanistan and Iraq. From Travis's incredible bravery on the streets of Fallujah to Brendan's anguished SEAL training in the wake of his friend's death and later acts of heroism in the mountains of Afghanistan, Brothers Forever is a remarkable story of war and friendship"--… (mais)

A very moving and touching book about two Catholic men who attended the US Naval Academy together and became best of friends. The book is written by the father of one of the men who himself was a career Marine officer. Very well written by the coauthor with only few repetitions for continuity's sake. The book is actually about the patriotism of the officers who died rather than their service exploits. It's also about the home life of the families and the grieving process they went through as the graves notification began. A very unusual but valuable book about the American experience of family in the time of war. The publisher De Capo Press prints books on military themes. A very fast read, but not becuse it is vapid but because it is focused on a specific audience of general readers. ( )

Although they were killed three years apart, one in Iraq and one in Afghanistan, these two best friends and former roommates were now buried together--"brothers forever.”
