Synopsis
Accompanying an NBC television special, this title features the American men and women who were born in the 1920s, experienced the unique circumstances of a World War, and went on to become the parents of the "baby boomers." Award-winning anchorman Brokaw has reported on many of the world's major news events since he began his career with NBC News in 1966.

Publisher's Note
"They came of age during the Great Depression and the Second World War and went on to build modern America -- men and women whose everyday lives of duty, honor, achievement, and courage gave us the world we have today."

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, honor.

From military heroes to community leaders to ordinary Americans, he profiles men and women who served their country with valor, then came home and transformed America: Senator Daniel Inouye, decorated at the front, fighting prejudice at home; Martha 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 came home to open a small clinic in his hometown; Navy pilot George Bush, assigned to read the mail of the enlisted men under him, who says that in doing so "I learned about life." And there are more, all seasoned by a time of tragedy and triumph.

To this generation who gave so much and asked so little, Brokaw offers eloquent tribute in true stories of everyday heroes in extraordinary times.

Industry reviews
"Brokaw writes that 'no block of marble or elaborate edifice can equal their lives of sacrifice and achievement, duty and honor, as monuments to their time.' In 'The Greatest Generation', he has compiled a moving scrapbook as a tribute to the members of the World War II generation to whom we Americans and the world owe so much."
New York Times Book Review - Michael Lind (12/27/1998)
