Christopher Brownfield's memoir tells the story of his nuclear family, specifically his father, a Marine Corps officer, and his mother, a nurse. Brownfield was born in the early 1990s, during the height of the Cold War, and describes the tension and fear that pervaded daily life during those years. He charts the family's experience as his father becomes a staff officer in the Marine Corps, and then as he is deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. As the Iraq War ends, Brownfield's family experiences the aftermath firsthand, and his father suffers a debilitating injury. Brownfield tells his story with humor and candor, revealing the challenges and triumphs of growing up in a military family during a time of great change.; 8vo; 314 pages.
