What we inherit : a secret war and a family's search for answers / Jessica Pearce Rotondi. by Rotondi, Jessica Pearce. The Unnamed Press, 2020. Call #: 959.7043373 R848w Subjects United States. Air Force -- Airmen.   Vietnam War, 1961-1975 -- Missing in action -- United States.   World War, 1939-1945.   Prisoners of war -- Germany. ISBN:  9781951213077 (hc) Edition:  1st ed. Description:  264 p. : ill., map ; 23 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (p. 241-264). Summary:  "In the wake of her mother’s death, Jessica Pearce Rotondi uncovers boxes of letters, declassified CIA reports, and newspaper clippings that bring to light a family ghost: her uncle Jack, who disappeared during the CIA-led Secret War in Laos in 1972. The letters lead her across Southeast Asia in search of the truth that has eluded her family for decades. In 1943, 19-year-old Edwin Pearce jumps from a burning B-17 bomber over Germany. Missing in action for months, his parents finally learn he is a prisoner of war in Stalag 17. Ed survives nearly three years in prison camp and a march across the Alps before returning home. Ed’s eldest son and namesake, Edwin “Jack,” follows his father into the Air Force. But on the night of March 29, 1972, Jack’s plane vanishes over the mountains bordering Vietnam and Ed’s past comes roaring into the present. "What We Inherit" is Rotondi’s story of her own hunt for answers as she retraces her grandfather’s 1973 path across Southeast Asia in search of his son. An excavation of inherited trauma on a personal and national scale, "What We Inherit" reveals the power of a father’s refusal to be silenced and a daughter’s quest to rediscover her voice in the wake of loss. As Rotondi nears the last known place Jack was seen alive, she grows closer to understanding the mystery that has haunted her family for generations -- and the destructive impact of a family secret so big it encompassed an entire war."--Publisher.
