Fighter Pilot’s Daughter: Growing Up in the Sixties and the Cold War tells
the story of Mary Lawlor’s dramatic, roving life as a warrior’s child. A
family biography and a young woman’s vision of the Cold War, Fighter Pilot’s Daughter narrates
the more than many transfers the family made from Miami to California
to Germany as the Cold War demanded. Each chapter describes the workings
of this traveling household in a different place and time. The book’s
climax takes us to Paris in May ’68, where Mary—until recently a dutiful
military daughter—has joined the legendary student demonstrations
against among other things, the Vietnam War. Meanwhile her father is
flying missions out of Saigon for that very same war. Though they are on
opposite sides of the political divide, a surprising reconciliation
comes years later.

“Mary
Lawlor’s memoir, Fighter Pilot’s Daughter: Growing Up in the Sixties
and the Cold War, is terrifically written. The experience of living in a
military family is beautifully brought to life. This memoir shows the
pressures on families in the sixties, the fears of the Cold War, and
also the love that families had that helped them get through those
times, with many ups and downs. It’s a story that all of us who are old
enough can relate to, whether we were involved or not. The book is so
well written. Mary Lawlor shares a story that needs to be written, and
she tells it very well.” ―The Jordan Rich Show
“Mary
Lawlor, in her brilliantly realized memoir, articulates what accountants
would call a soft cost, the cost that dependents of career military
personnel pay, which is the feeling of never belonging to the specific
piece of real estate called home. . . . [T]he real story is Lawlor and
her father, who is ensconced despite their ongoing conflict in Lawlor’s
pantheon of Catholic saints and Irish presidents, a perfect metaphor for
coming of age at a time when rebelling was all about rebelling against
the paternalistic society of Cold War America.” ―Stars and Stripes
