My 14 year old son just read “Unbroken” and was riveted. He could not put the book down. The book thoroughly illustrates the savagery of japanese at the time, and has the perspective of the prisoners witnessing the attacks on Tokyo by the Doolittle raiders. So there is hope for the next generation. Try and teach as many young people as you can before you leave this earth, that’s my goal.
My 12 YO is fed a steady diet of WWII documentaries, movietone reels, and as much family history of WWII and WWI as we can dredge up.
Not hard to get him to watch.
And we include the War of Northern Aggression / War of the Rebellion history of his NC ancestors, who fought on both sides...and of course the motherlode, the Revolutionaries of the Piedmont, who included the Regulators....which is where ALL of this started!!!
