Download The Greatest Generation Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The instant classic that changed the way we saw World War II and an entire generation of Americans, from the beloved journalist whose own iconic career has lasted more than fifty years. 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 “learned about life”; and many other laudable Americans. To this generation that gave so much and asked so little, Brokaw offers eloquent tribute in true stories of everyday heroes in extraordinary times. Praise for The Greatest Generation “Moving . . . 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 “Full of wonderful, wrenching tales of a generation of heroes. Tom Brokaw reminds us what we are capable of as a people. An inspiring read for those who wish their spirits lifted.”—Colin L. Powell “Offers welcome inspiration . . . It is impossible to read even a few of these accounts and not be touched by the book’s overarching message: We who followed this generation have lived in the midst of greatness.”—The Washington Times “Entirely compelling.”—The Wall Street Journal

Download What Did The Baby Boomers Ever Do For Us? Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
First published in 2010, this book explores the legacy of the baby boomers: the generation who, born in the aftermath of the Second World War, came of age in the radical sixties where for the first time since the War, there was freedom, money, and safe sex. In this book, Francis Beckett argues that what began as the most radical-sounding generation for half a century turned into a random collection of youthful style gurus, sharp-toothed entrepreneurs and management consultants who believed revolution meant new ways of selling things; and Thatcherites, who thought freedom meant free markets, not free people. At last, it found its most complete expression in New Labour. The author argues that the children of the 1960s betrayed the generations that came before and after, and that the true legacy of the swinging decade is in ashes.

"Born In A Car Crash" serves as a guide to 1950s and 60s rhythm and blues 45s - artifacts of an incredibly fertile period of American musical history and culture. Never before in US history had so many musicians struck out on their own; moving to unknown cities to pursue careers, record and release music themselves, and in the process cultivating scenes across the nation that remain foundational in the development of American music as we know it. Many of these musicians - who often times couldn't walk in the front door of the segregated clubs they'd be booked to play in - weren't necessarily famous in their lifetime, but are often credited as major inspirations for many big names in music that most people would recognize: Elvis Presley, etc. etc. "Born In A Car Crash" aims to highlight essential tracks from an era of profound creativity and shine a light on the musicians, producers, and labels that leveraged everything they had to create music for the people. It is more important than ever to hear, share, and dance to these songs, ensuring that younger generations learn about the music, people, and stories that spawned what they're listening to today.
