Publisher's Note One of NBC's most famous anchormen celebrates the greatest generation in history--Americans born in the 1920s who came of age during the Great Depression, fought in World War II, and went on to build America. "The Greatest Generation" will be also be the subject of a concurrent NBC-TV show. Photos throughout.
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)
