Life Stories #32: Dale Maharidge

When Dale Maharidge was growing up, his father kept a photograph of himself with a fellow Marine, taken on a Pacific island during World War II -- but he almost never spoke about what happened to them during the war. It wasn't until years later, after his father's death, that Maharidge began tracking down the men who served with them, gradually piecing the story together from their memories. Bringing Mulligan Home combines the best of memoir and reportage in a compelling story about the realities of war and the long-term repercussions on those who serve.
