The Greatest Generation
by Tom Brokaw
Forget it (2/27/2013)
This is a perfect book for people of questionable intelligence that haven’t a clue about actual history and are too lazy too examine the historical records to obtain the truth about World War 2 or to put it more bluntly it’s a feel good book for the mentally challenged. A more accurate description of the time can be found from an old TV documentary that aired in the US in 1975 called THE WORLD AT WAR. This British made 30 part series of one hour shows took you from the political beginning of the Nazi’s during the great depression right through to the bitter end of the Axis forces. This film came out in the cold war years and was surprisingly accurate considering the self serving propaganda of the former allies at the time. I was only 28 years old back then when I watched the entire series and I thought, they never taught this in school. If you have a brain then forget this book and find the original THE WORLD AT WAR series. It’s well worth the time.
