Short description

2nd story in The Forgotten Shelters series. Whatever happened to those bomb shelters built in the 50's & 60's. Are they now just fruit cellars or wine cellars? Have they really been forgotten? Brother Mine tells the story of one possibility of how those old bomb shelters may now be used.

Extended description

America in the 1950’s was a time of great anxiety. There was the constant threat of the hydrogen bomb exploding and a sense of unease became a real part of everyday life. With the possibility of a nuclear war, as the Cold War between the U.S. and the Soviet Union escalated, many Americans considered their options of survival. Ordinary Americans, often hiding their actions from their neighbors, created bomb shelters in their backyards in order to survive what seemed at the time an inevitable nuclear attack. They also lived in fear that if an attack did occur, they would be invaded by friends and neighbors seeking shelter when the ‘big one’ dropped. So they built their shelters in the dead of night so neighbors wouldn't see, secret places that held the hope of a future in a ravaged world. But, the bombs never fell.

Now, many years later, we can all wonder what really happened to all those backyard bomb shelters that frightened families built? Did they all become wine cella..

This is the story of just one of the disturbing possibilities…
