Description
What memories do you carry of history’s most tumultuous chapters? For those who served as soldiers or endured as civilians during World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War, these conflicts etched profound and lasting impressions into their lives. Whether it was the chaos of battle, the fear of occupation, or the resilience required to survive, these experiences shaped entire generations. Yet, as time marches forward and the survivors of these wars grow older, their voices—laden with tales of struggle, bravery, and sacrifice—are fading into silence. With each passing year, we lose more of these firsthand accounts, and the risk grows that the lessons and legacies of those times will slip away forever.
Enter James Downey, an author, speaker, and historian determined to preserve these vanishing narratives. A U.S. Army veteran himself, Downey deployed to Germany during his service at Central Army Group (HQ CENTAG) NATO, an experience that deepened his understanding of the stakes of global conflict. After earning a B.S. in Psychology from the University of Nebraska-Omaha in 1969 and a Juris Doctor from the University of Nebraska College of Law—where he served as Assistant Editor of The Nebraska Transcript and authored articles—he built a 30-year career as a practicing attorney in Colorado. His legal work spanned litigation, transactional law, appellate court appearances, and legislative committee service, showcasing his versatility and dedication. But it’s his passion for history and storytelling that led him to write Brothers in Arms, his third book, which captures the courage and humanity of those who lived through America’s last three major wars.

Brothers In Arms: Memoirs of Veterans, Victims, Heroes, and Survivors of World War II, Korea and the Vietnam War
Veterans Biogrpahy
Brothers in Arms brings to life the intense experiences of veterans, victims, heroes, and survivors of our last three major wars that go beyond the battlefields into their lives and the cultural and geopolitical landscapes that framed those wars. Whether one is a fan of war history, inspiring personal memoirs, Americana, or facets of America’s past that one likely won’t learn about in school or the media, all of that and more await the reader. The journeys unfold accompanied by well over one hundred pictures and historic documents that bring them vividly to life, many of which have never before been published.
Personal interviews capture unique experiences and vanishing history from WW II, the Cold War, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War, told by those who fought, suffered and labored to defend our freedom. Military pilots, infantry soldiers, seamen, POW’s and civilians share their compelling challenges as they confronted America’s enemies with courage, bullets, sheer determination, and in some of their darkest hours, unshakable faith. Their Purple Hearts, Silver and Bronze Stars, battle ribbons, and even a Congressional Medal of Honor, attest to their valor.
