I am thoroughly enjoying this book. Tom Brokaw has interviewed a wide range of fascinating war veterans. As he says they were the 'greatest generation'

I really don't like Tom Brokaw, the NBC News Anchorman. Although I have watched his career for more than 30 years, and recognized early on that he was going to one day occupy the top seat of his profession, I never really liked him. I remember hearing bits and pieces of his character and personal life over the years. Only two things are remembered of him at the moment; he likes the outdoors, and he is from South Dakota. Two things he has going for him. But I really don't like him.I was sent a package last Christmas. One I had been looking forward to receiving. Lots of good stuff in the package, and an unexpected item. In the bottom of the package was a book; "The Greatest Generation", and yes, you guessed it; Tom Brokaw wrote it. At least it was a first edition. Oddly enough, I had heard about this book. Some even said it was a pretty good read. That it paid tribute to a generation and a people that largely go about their business without accolades. Only now is their work being recognized. Only now are the sacrifices they made coming to the full realization of the generations that have come after them. So I decided to give Tom Brokaw a chance to impress me. Haltingly, I admit that I was somewhat impressed. By presenting this book to the public, Tom Brokaw has accomplished something of far greater value than to impress me, or anyone else, for that matter. What he did do was trigger the mechanisms that start us on the path of pondering. I have to give him that, even though I don't really like him.When I was finished with "The Greatest Generation", I put the book down and just stared at the air for a time. Slowly and ever so surely, thoughts of people exactly like those he wrote about in his book began to flow through my consciousness. A smile came to my face. Memories of the sweetest sort broadened the smile. And even though I was smiling, sometimes the smile was a sad one. Many of those helping to create the memories now flowing through me were gone. Dead. Their voices never to be heard again; their firm handshake never to be felt again; the probing look of their eyes, gone forever. No longer am I able to smell the rich smells of grandma's kitchen. Nor hear the big belly laugh of my grandfather. I am very pleased Tom Brokaw reminded me of their contributions, even though I don't like him very much."The Greatest Generation" is an easy book to read. It oft-times fills you with pride when acknowledging the deeds and sacrifices of others. Of those that came before us. They did what they did because of a solid value system. A universal belief that right, equals might and will, no matter what it takes, be the victor, claiming the right to hoist the flag of human dignity, up the petard.I don't have to like Tom Brokaw to thank him for causing me to ponder.

Tom Brokaw may have a point, but I pause before completely agreeing with him on the premise of the title. It's hard for me to separate the subject generation from the ones that fought the Civil War or the First World War. I personally think that this country's greatest generation may have been the one that produced our remarkable Declaration of Independence and our Constitution, and then ensured that the government they formed would allow for the potential growth of each succeeding generation. As a member of the Baby Boomers, I'm not certain that my generation, as a whole, appreciates the gift each preceding generation has passed to us. Thus, the importance of such a book by Brokaw, or related works such as Ambrose's, Ryan's and Terkel's histories of WWII events. Such writings allow us each to reflect whether the leaders we are forced to choose today as a matter of economics really have the vision and character to bring this country forward, in the manner that the preceding generations envisioned. This is where the greatness of a generation comes from, the leaders during its formulative years and the leaders it in turn produces. As I said, this book is a good read.....but try Bruce Catton's Army of the Potomac trilogy (Mr. Lincoln's Army, Glory Road and A Stillness at Appomattox) and see if the resemblance to the Civil War veteran doesn't argue for a smilar "greatest generation".
