Title: Brothers In Arms
Author: Umesh
Genre: Non- fiction
Review:
The colour of your skin or where you come from should never affect how people look at you. The world changed after September 2001, when the twin towers were downed by two highjacked aircraft crashing into them and into the Pentagon.
People of all creed and colour condemned the attacks and the murder of innocents in the name of religion.
Brothers in arms do not care about the colour of your skin; for them, it is about the loyalty you have for one and another. When you are in heat of the battle, who cares if the person fighting next to you is from a different religion; he is your brother, he has your back and will die and fight with you.
What 9/11 did was paint a red target on every person of colour as a potential threat. All religions preach happiness, peace and love.
I have read the theory of 9/11 in school books but inclined towards this book, it turned to be a masterpiece. I have read a lot of genres but this one impressed me.
The story revolves around Aman who wanted to join the British Forces as his grandfather was an inspiration for him but his family was against him due to the violence being faced by them.
The author has dedicated this book to 21 brave soldiers headed by Havaldar Ishar Singh who was martyred in the Battle of Saragarhi.
The author has further discussed his life after 9th September 2001. How did it impacted Aman’s life ? Did he join the army ?
This book is worth reading. It’s about the sacrifices our real heroes go through. Brothers On Arms is a read that will break your heart into pieces.
This is a very heart wrenching read. It’s a story pf million soldiers who sacrifice their lives for their country. Love and Peace are the most essential components to live a happy and peaceful life.
Every aspect is accurate.
Author’s Message:
The underlying message is war is ugly, honour and duty is important. Most importantly love shines through. How families and life is affected by war…
Rating: 10/10
