Tom Brokaw’s wonderful book does, from a very different viewpoint what Studs Terkel did in WORKING and THE GOOD WAR. Brokaw is a reporter, a good reporter, of history as he observed and experienced it. Terkel did interviews with individuals who were there. Very different books, equally fascinating. Read Brokaw’s book. Make time for Terkel’s books too!

This is an interesting book. I can't help but compare it to Studs Terkel's THE GREATEST GENERATION, though being a Chicagoan and acquaintance of Studs, I may be a bit prejudiced. But this book is no slouch. I'm pacing myself, stopping to take in what I've read before moving on. I recommend this as a good social history of the time.
