    About this series

    A new generation of men face the call of duty . . .

    1960

    Against the backdrop of the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Vietnam War, three pairs of fathers and sons must put their honor and bravery to the ultimate test.

    Captain Warren Troost is determined to make flag rank and have his son, Andrew, follow in his footsteps. But Andrew is torn between upholding the formidable Troost legacy and pursuing his passions.

    Now working for the CIA, Tony Trapasso must hide his murky missions from the people he loves, while his fighter pilot son, Mike, flies into the burning skies of Vietnam.

    Moving among the highest circles of command in Washington DC, Captain Jacob Miller finds his sense of duty in conflict with his personal beliefs. Determined to live up to Jacob's war hero status, his son, Sy, throws himself into the most dangerous operations.

    With more bloodshed on the horizon, all six men must find the strength to serve their country by plunging into the heart of the conflict . . .

      Lives are changed forever in the aftermath of Pearl Harbor . . . 1941: Andrew Troost, heir to generations of naval tradition, has just been made admiral, when reports fly in of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Troost's son, Warren, has followed in his footsteps and is one of the men fighting for his country on a PT boat in the Pacific. In New York City, Tony Trapasso hears the call to action and gets ready to join the naval action. With him is Jacob Miller, a young man choosing to become a naval pilot instead of following the rabbinical calling of his Jewish forebears. They meet Glen Lascomb, a fresh-faced youth, raised on an Iowa farm, who is about to be catapulted into a sea of flaming oil in the Leyte Gulf . . . This is their story-the saga of heroic Navy men caught in the raging crosscurrents of a war that thrust them together and tore them painfully apart . . .

      Another Round in the Battle Over Vietnam

      Sep 5, 2017

      There are two Vietnam wars, and the second is still going 40 years after the first ended. The United States fought the first one from 1959 to 1975 in the jungles, villages and airspace of Indochina. The second is the war over how that war, the first lost war in America's national history, is remembered. This month, as Ken Burns' 10-part Vietnam documentary is aired on PBS, the second conflict is sure to heat up again with renewed intensity. The positions will be fiercely argued. What was the war good for? Absolutely nothing, as the 1970 song put it? Or was it a heroic cause? The most important
