World War II
Bradlee was in the Navy in the South Pacific Theater as a CI Officer, an intelligence officer. He fought from 1942 - 1945 and was in a totall of thirteen battles including the Battle of Leyte Gulf, which was the largest Naval battle in Naval history. The battles that he fought in were: the First Battle of Tulagi, Battle Vella Lavella; Guadalcanal Campaign: Battle of Henderson Field, Naval Battle of Guadalcanal; Philippines Campaign: Battle of Letye Gulf, also known as the Second Battle of the Philippine Sea, Battle of Mindoro, Battle of Manila, the Battle of Surigao Straits, Invasion of Lingayen Gulf; Mariana and Palau Islands Campaign: Battle of Saipain, Battle of Tinian and the Battle of Guam.

He was on nine different dystroyers through the course of the war and was awarded the Bronze Star for driving his dystroyer through enemy lines, but he turned it down because he told his captain that "I was just doing my job." At the end of the war when Kamikazes came into play, Bradlee wrote in his book, there was a Kamikaze that got so close to his ship the Bradlee remembers seeing the pilots face.

Career
After the war Bradlee started his own newspaper called the Sunday Times in New Hampshire. His father, Frederick new a lot of wealthy and established people and set up a lot of interview for his son Ben. Bradlee had a job interview in Baltimore, but it was raining so hard that he decided to stay on the buss and go directly to Washington to the his interview at the Washington Post. Bradlee's son Quinn says that if he had got off the buss and gone to his interview that Quinn would not have ever been born or any of Ben's other children.

Bradlee has interviewed and met many famous and infamous people such Nelson Mandela and Fidel Castro. Bradlee was also the Press Attache in Paris during the 50's and was expelled by the French Government for talking with the Afghans. However he was invited back to Paris and in about 2003 was made a Chevalier by the French. His mother Josephine was also made a Chevalier for starting an orphanage during the War, where European mothers would send their children to protect them from the Nazis.

Bradlee actually had just a head shot in Play Girl Magazine and was voted in the top ten most gorgeous men in America.
