Synopsis

In this book, Tom Brokaw goes out into America, to tell through the stories of individual men and women the story of a generation, America's citizen heroes and heroines who came of age during the Great Depression and the Second World War and went on to build modern America. This generation was united not only by a common purpose, but also by common values -- duty, honor, economy, courage, service, love of family and country, and, above all, responsibility for oneself. In this book, you will meet people whose everyday lives reveal how a generation persevered through war, and were trained by it, and then went on to create interesting and useful lives and the America we have today.

From the Author:

My Generation
I believe the protocal of the process of the metabolismicmatic function of my writing of the best novel that exists in today's society revolves around the premesis of my intuition and my imagionationistical brain which functions well when dealing with issues similar to the ones represented in this quite perplexing and somewhat meticulous and boring topic or thesis that occupies the body of this epic book, which will be the foundation for many many many more criticisms to come.
