Product Description
Brotherhood of Doom: Memoirs of a Navy Nuclear Weaponsman, provides a look inside a national program that was shrouded in secrecy, during the Cold War. The book details the dedication and patriotism of a small group of sailors that were denied much of the liberty, and freedoms their fellow citizens enjoyed, to insure the survival of America in the event of a nuclear war. Emphasized throughout the book is the extraordinary effort of nuclear weaponsmen to handle and maintain these weapons of mass destruction with safety, and to continually strive for perfection. The book is an effort to honor the many outstanding, and colorful sailors Jim Little served with over a thirty year period, and to educate the American public about a national program that little is known about, a program all citizens should be thankful for. The job of navy nuclear weaponsman no longer exists, and Brotherhood of Doom is an attempt to preserve this important story of the American military. The book also details a seventeen-year-old navy enlistee's journey in the navy from the time of President Eisenhower's administration, to that of President George H. Bush, and the many personality changes our nation and the U.S. Navy went through during this time.
From the Inside Flap
Cover: An A-6 Intruder, a carrier-based medium attack, all-weather bomber, and his wingman streak away from the blast of a nuclear weapon dropped on target. (An original watercolor painting, by Jim Little)
Reader Reviews
As a former GMT/WT who didn't have an opportunity to serve with Gunner Little I have to say that from the time I picked up the book till I put it down, it was amazing all I could think of was if I were to change some of the names and dates the book pretty much followed my experiences in the Navy. It's good that someone wrote a book that documents our time in the Navy. Most anything you read or see is about Navy pilots and this is a behind the scenes look at the enlisted and officer rating that was hidden behind doubled barbed wire fences and locked behind armed Marines. A small elite organization that took pride in its accomplishments. We still meet once a year to rekindle our memories.
