Soon the World War II generation will be gone. Introduction
To my son John’s description of this book as a dialogue taking place between two generations, I would add that it also deals with some questions for which there are no convenient media answers, and this is true regardless of the generation to which you belong. Generations
1BM: Although most call my generation GenY, I believe a better label might be the Bridge Generation. | |
