In this superb audiobook, Tom Brokaw goes out into America to tell through the stories of individual men and women the story of a generation. America's citizen heroes and heroines who came of age during the Great Depression and the Second World War and went on to build modern America. This generation was united not only by a common purpose, but also by common values- duty, honor, economy, courage, service, love of family and country, and, above all, responsibility for oneself.

This brilliant new treatment of the world's oldest epic is a literary event on par with Seamus Heaney's wildly popular Beowulf translation. Esteemed translator and best-selling author Stephen Mitchell energizes a heroic tale so old it predates Homer's Iliad by more than a millennium.

Comedy superstar Mike Myers writes from the (true patriot) heart about his 53-year relationship with his beloved Canada. Mike Myers is a world-renowned actor, director and writer and the man behind some of the most memorable comic characters of our time. But, as he says, "No description of me is truly complete without saying I'm a Canadian". He has often winked and nodded to Canada in his outrageously accomplished body of work, but now he turns the spotlight full-beam on his homeland.

Boom! One minute it was Ike and the man in the grey flannel suit, and the next minute it was time to "turn on, tune in, drop out". While Americans were walking on the moon, Americans were dying in Vietnam. Nothing was beyond question, and there were far fewer answers than before.

One of five children, Pat watched as her alcoholic mother struggled to get by on charity, cons, and petty crimes. At age seven, Pat was taught to roll drunks for money. At 12, she was targeted for sex by a man eight years her senior; by 13, she was pregnant. By 15, Pat was a mother of two. Alone at 16, Pat was determined to make a better life for her children. But with no job skills and an eighth-grade education, her options were limited. She learned quickly that hustling and humor were the only tools she had to survive.

Publisher's Summary

Longtime NBC News anchorman Tom Brokaw speaks at Emory University's commencement in Atlanta, Ga. After recalling his experiences working in local television in Atlanta during the 1960's, Brokaw talks about commencements as "annual rituals of renewal" where "the American Dream is so fully realized." He also discusses the impact of the 9/11 terror attacks and the need for tolerance in a contentious world. Brokaw also makes a plea for better stewardship of the environment, referring to "mindless consumption" as a "form of blasphemy and suicide."

Arguably The GREATEST VOICE of the 20th Century

Tom Brokaw, the "Everyman" Newscaster of the last part of the 20th Century brings wisdom with style from the Greatest Generation to that which is Emerging Great. Best 20 minutes of thought time I've had in a long time.
