Reviews
"Tom Brokaw has delivered a gift to this and future generations by bringing us these inspiring personal stories of the average Joes, the GI Joes, the young men and women who served our country and shaped the foundation of post-war America. Although some became famous, most returned to their hometowns dedicated to building an even better world. We meet them in this book, whose pages give voice to the standards they set by their strength of character, informed by their experience during World War II. Tom has held up a mirror to reflect what may be their greatest legacy and pose in all of us the question--Is this generation--our generation--worthy as their beneficiaries?" --Steven Spielberg

    This book has to be on everybodies list to realy appreciate the growth of this country after WWII

    First of all, this is a used book that looks brand new. Cover in great shape. Pages are not wrinkled or folded. I received it in a timely manner.

  • We Owe the Brave

    This book should be required reading in every high school in America. Perhaps then the youth of today could appreciate what they have been given, instead of destroying it. You can learn from this book a lot about the unselfish sacrifice so freely given for the "taken for granted" freedom we have in America. Land of the Free because of the Brave.

  • Great

    It was a great informative read. It makes you think about what all these service men and women gave up and also gave for our freedom and freedom isn't free I love the book.

  • Freedom a breath of fresh air for this Country.

    I really enjoyed reading about true patriots who fought for this country and died for this country it’s not like that much anymore people don’t understand what freedom is and they don’t want to fight for it anymore. We need more history to teach our children well.

  • Would today's generation measure up to the WWII generation?

    The voices of WWII are dying out. This book is several years old but the content is timeless.
