First edition of this instant classic and runaway bestseller that changed the way we saw World War II and an entire generation of Americans. Octavo, original half cloth. Association copy, inscribed by the author on the title page, "To President Ford - a great teacher and great friend. Tom Brokaw." The recipient Gerald R. Ford was the 38th President of the United States, serving from 1974 to 1977. He assumed office following the Watergate scandal and sought to restore public trust in government through a message of transparency and national healing. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Andy Carpenter. From the collection of PresidentÂGerald R.ÂFordÂand First Lady BettyÂFord. An exceptional association. In this magnificent testament to a nation and her people, Tom Brokaw brings to life the extraordinary stories of a generation that gave new meaning to courage, sacrifice, and honor. From military heroes to community leaders to ordinary citizens, he profiles men and women who served their country with valor, then came home and transformed it: Senator Daniel Inouye, decorated at the front, fighting prejudice at home; Martha Settle Putney, one of the first black women to serve in the newly formed WACs; Charles Van Gorder, a doctor who set up a MASH-like medical facility in the middle of battle, then opened a small clinic in his hometown; Navy pilot and future president George H. W. Bush, assigned to read the mail of the enlisted men under him, who says that in doing so he âlearned about lifeâ; and many other laudable Americans. âMoving . . . a tribute to the members of the World War II generation to whom we Americans and the world owe so much" (The New York Times Book Review).
