The Other Side of Infamy: My Journey Through Pearl Harbor and the World of War

by Jim Downing with James Lund - History, Memoir, Nonfiction

The natural human impulse is to run from attack. Jim Downing --- along with countless other soldiers and sailors at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 --- ran toward it, fighting to rescue his fellow navy men, to protect loved ones and civilians on the island, and to find the redemptive path forward from a devastating war. We are protected from war these days, but there was a time when war was very present in our lives. In THE OTHER SIDE OF INFAMY, we learn from a veteran of Pearl Harbor and World War II what it means to follow Jesus into and through every danger, toil and snare.
