More than just a memoir, Captain Allen Brady's account of World War II, the Korean War, the Cold War, and the Vietnam War is a valuable document from one of the last of his generation. Captain Brady witnessed all of these events, often participating in them as a United States Naval Aviator, and his experience provides a vibrant story of America's key role in events that altered the course of history. Through the rise of Adolf Hitler, Americas Great Depression, the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the Bay of Pigs Invasion, and the Mariel boatlift, Brady's memories outline pivotal moments of global and US history that threaten to be forgotten by younger generations. Captain Brady's narrative ensures that future generations will remember the gravity and consequences of these crucial events. Witnessing the American Century is not only a record of Captain Brady's astounding life but also an invaluable reminder of Americas role in the most formative world events of the past century.
