The heartwarming New York Times bestseller by the author of
The Greatest Generation
"When I wrote about the men and women who came out of the
Depression, who won great victories and made lasting sacrifices in
World War II and then returned home to begin building the world we
have today ... it was my way of saying thank you. I was not
prepared for the avalanche of letters and responses touched off by
that book.
"I had written a book about America, and now America was writing
back."
Tom Brokaw touched the heart of the nation with his towering #1
bestseller The Greatest Generation, a moving tribute to those who
gave the world so much -- and who left an enduring legacy of
heroism and grace. The Greatest Generation Speaks was born out of
the vast outpouring of letters Brokaw received from people eager to
share their personal memories and experiences of a momentous time
in America''s history.
These letters and reflections cross time, distance, and
generations as they give voice to lives forever changed by war:
eighty-year-old Clarence M. Graham, who recounts his harrowing
experience as a soldier captured by the Japanese -- and provides a
gripping eyewitness account of the dropping of the atomic bomb;
Patricia Matthews Dorph, a soldier''s daughter who shares the love
letters her parents exchanged during the war, a lasting legacy of
passion, devotion, and enduring love; Rabbi Judah Nadich, the first
Jewish chaplain to serve in the war; Lorraine Davis, a civilian who
helped form the Club of ''44, a group of wartime wives who still
meet today.
From the front lines of battle to the back porches of beloved
hometowns, The Greatest Generation Speaks brings to life the hopes
and dreams of a generation who fought our most hard-won victories,
and whose struggles and sacrifices made our future possible.
