The author's relations with his father, a veteran of World War II, were terrible. The soldier came back from the war to a young son he'd barely met and proceeded to bully and browbeat him--for his own good. In the course of puzzling out almost fifty years of intermittent conflict, the author came to understand that their problems were not simply personal, they were generational--and widely shared. And so to write this book, which tells the secret history of World War II and its echoes down the generations, he has uncovered nine other dramatic and telling father-son tales.

A powerful and unique portrait of generational strife and changing styles of masculinity as seen through the stories of ten World War II veterans and their baby boomer sons. It is fair to say that Tom Mathews’s relations with his father, a veteran of World War II’s fabled 10th Mountain Division, were terrible. He came back from the war to a young son he’d barely met and proceeded to bully and browbeat him—for his own good, he thought. In the course of puzzling out almost fifty years of intermittent conflict, Mathews came to understand that their problems were not simply personal, they were generational—and widely shared by millions of other baby boomer sons. And so, to write this powerful book, which traces the kinetic effect of the war on the men who fought it, their sons, and their grandsons, Mathews has uncovered nine other dramatic and telling father-son tales of veterans in some ways missing in action and how internal war wounds shaped their lives as fathers. These include a combat infantryman whose life was saved by the fabled Audie Murphy, and a black member of the storied Tuskegee Airmen corps. In a moving final chapter, he and his father return together to Italy to revisit scenes from the war—and attempt, at long last, to forge their own separate peace. In a very real sense, Our Fathers’ War tells the secret history of World War II and its echoes down the years and generations. In the course of doing so, it offers a portrait of evolving styles of American manhood that many, many fathers and sons have been needing and awaiting.

"Like many returned soldiers my father Walter Astley Tyrrell (WAT) did not often speak about his experiences during World War 2. When he did, he would make light of it by likening the four years he was interned in various German Prisoner of War (POW) camps to the Amerian comedy series 'Hogan's Heroes'. What he tried to hide from us, his four children, was the trauma of the war. Perhaps had he not died prematurely in his early sixties we might have been mature enough to ask him some questions. Now when we remember his 'jumping' at a clap of thunder it is clear that he suffered from post-traumatic stress as a result of being under fire in battle, air-raids and strafing. The rest of his war he hid from us. As young adults at that time we accepted his sanguine explanations and laughed when he mimicked Sergeant Shultz. We built our own worlds and looked not further into his wartime experiences." -- Introduction (page 5.)
