Wilber’s War: An American Family’s Journey Through World War II
A father’s odyssey. A mother’s secret. A son’s story
Based on the book Wilber’s War by Hale Bradt
Written by Hale Bradt and Myriam Cyr
Wilber’s War chronicles the story of two ordinary Americans, Wilber and Norma Bradt, during an extraordinary time, World War II. It offers deeply personal, fresh insight into the historic conflict as it was fought by the U.S. Army in the Pacific Theater and by a family on the home front. It is an epic tale of patriotic and familial duty, heroism, love, infidelity, and the tragedy of suicide. Based on a true story.
“They have no idea how scared I really was.” From an original letter by Wilber Bradt while in the South Pacific
