Writing About Citizens in Wartime
Though his books are generally categorized as World War II histories, they are not military histories and tend to examine little-known aspects and figures in the conflict, including resistance movements, underground work, and the efforts of ordinary citizens in the struggles.
Inspiration
Tim's father, Lieutenant Wallace Anthony Brady, was a veteran of the war and won the Navy Cross for his service at the battle of Iwo Jima, in February 1945.
Other Publications
In addition to Tim Brady's five published books, Tim has been a regular contributor to History Channel Magazine, Minnesota Monthly, Shipmate, the Alumni Magazine of the Naval Academy, University of Minnesota Alumni Magazine, On Wisconsin, University of Wisconsin Alumni Magazine, History Magazine, Military History Magazine, Minneapolis Star Tribune, and others.
