When All the Men Were Gone is a salute to those of my generation, the ones who lived in the shadow of the Greatest Generation. It was our generation, those at the home front during WW II, that also suffered many losses; our loved ones; our innocence; our nurturing. We saw the images--the toll of human conflict and the horror of the atom bomb. We saw the ravages of hatred in the gaunt faces and hollowed spirits of concentration camp survivors. We saw giant holes filled with naked and dead bodies.
We came of age between two powerful decades: The Forties and The Sixties. Our time to serve came with the Korean Conflict and for some the Vietnam War. My generation was called the quiet generation and the forgotten generation. Not too flattering and also not too accurate. I like to think of my generation as the little generation that could. It was my generation, at the home front, that found the courage and determination to pull together to help our service men and women conquer the evil sweeping across Europe and the Pacific. This book is but a small step toward helping to define our generation and staking out a claim for its legacy. This is a remembrance of our generation...not the greatest, but the one closest to it.
This is about the struggle of life without men and its impact on those left behind. It is told through the eyes of a child as he lives through the war years.
