Description

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 know 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: Paul Tibbets, who at the age of 29 flew the world's first atomic bomb to Hiroshima. On the morning after the last meal he ever ate with his father, Greene went to meet Tibbets, now 85 years old - and developed 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 - and a powerful tribute to the ordinary heroes of an extraordinary time in American life.
