When Bob Greene went home to central Ohio to be with his dying father, it set off a chain of events that led him to knowing his dad in a way he never had before—thanks to a quiet man who lived just a few miles away, a man who had changed the history of the world.Greene's father—a soldier with an infantry division in World War II—often spoke of seeing the man around town. All but anonymous even in his own city, carefully maintaining his privacy, this man, Greene's father would point out to him, had "won the war." He was Paul Tibbets. At the age of twenty-nine, at the request of his country, Tibbets assembled a secret team of 1,800 American soldiers to carry out the single most violent act in the history of mankind. In 1945 Tibbets piloted a plane—which he called Enola Gay, after his mother—to the Japanese city of Hiroshima, where he dropped the atomic bomb.On the morning after the last meal he ever ate with his father, Greene went to meet Tibbets. What developed was an unlikely friendship that allowed Greene to discover things about his father, and his father's generation of soldiers, that he never fully understood before. Duty is the story of three lives connected by history, proximity, and blood; indeed, it is many stories, intimate and achingly personal as well as deeply historic. In one soldier's memory of a mission that transformed the world—and in a son's last attempt to grasp his father's ingrained sense of honor and duty—lies a powerful tribute to the ordinary heroes of an extraordinary time in American life.What Greene came away with is found history and found poetry—a profoundly moving work that offers a vividly new perspective on responsibility, empathy, and love. It is an exploration of and response to the concept of duty as it once was and always should be: quiet and from the heart. On every page you can hear the whisper of a generation and its children bidding each other farewell.

Bob Green can write. He is telling the story of two honorable men.His subjects are General Tibbets, who flew the Enola Gay in WW2,and his own Father, Robert Green. Both were veterans of the war and menof the same generation. Green is making the point that these menare different. This generation is different. He has great admiration forthe men of yesterday. In spite of the subject and Greens writing skillsI am afraid I was bored. The book is a wonderful tribute to two brave men, and to that time in history. I wish I could say the book is also wonderful--afraid not.However, just because I did not like it does not mean that other readers will not like it.There are many war stories and reminisces of the period before and after the war.One of the best has to do with the Doolittle Raiders, and a reunion of the last 15 flyers.This book was written in 2000, probably all are gone now.
