Allen Brady

From the Ashes of 391 (eBook, ePUB)

To Mules, Mad Dogs, and Morse Code

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In many ways, life for Allen Brady began on a 1954 afternoon when his childhood home in Hope Hull, Alabama erupted in flames and burned to the ground. He was four years old. The family home was rebuilt and given the address of 391. In 1974, he experienced another rebirth while in the military in Okinawa-that was the year he married Yoko. Her address included 391, which was eerily similar to his own. In this memoir, Brady recalls the series of events that brought him from Alabama to a faraway island where the course of his life was set. He begins with memories of a small farm existence complete with a mule and wagon (no car and no television). While white, he was taught by his parents to respect everyone no matter the color of their skin in this racially segregated state. Join the author as he looks back at his life's unexpected turns, his involvement in Vietnam as part of the Army Security Agency, and what it meant to be a "research operator" working under a cloak of secrecy.
