O God of Battles

O God of Battles

<b>BROTHERS BOUND BY BLOOD AND HONOR, TORN BY THE WOMAN WHOSE LOVE THEY WOULD SHARE. </b><br /><br />It was a time for America and her heroes: men like Michael and Andrew O'Connor, rival brothers fresh out of Annapolis, men who left all they knew and loved to seek glory in a world at war. Mike beneath the ocean aboard the USS <i>Tigerfish</i>. Andrew in the air as a fighter pilot ace. Theirs was a baptism by fire, yet they rose to confront a brutal enemy across the sea — and to chase the explosive dreams that could ultimately destroy them.<br /><br />From Harry Homewood, bestselling author of <i>Final Harbor, Silent Sea, </i> and <i>Torpedo! </i>, comes the epic novel of a family at war. A novel of family, duty, pride — and of two brothers, competitors in both love and war, whose inner struggles provided them with the courage that could mean the difference between life and death.<br /><br />Harry Homewood was a qualified submariner before he was seventeen years old, having lied to the Navy about his age, and serving in a little "S"-boat in the old Asiatic Fleet. After Pearl Harbor he reenlisted and made eleven war patrols in the Southwest Pacific. He later became Chicago Bureau Chief for <i>Newsweek</i>, chief editorial writer for the <i>Chicago Sun-Times</i>, and for eleven years had his own weekly news program syndicated to thirty-two PBS television stations.
