Publisher's Note
Like Charles Kuralt, David Brinkley, and Walter Cronkite, Tom Brokaw is an outstanding broadcast journalist and a fine writer. In this audiobook, he goes out into America to tell the story of America's citizen heroes and heroines, men and women whose values, and everyday lives of honor, courage, perseverance, and vision, created the America we know. Abridged.

Industry Reviews
"Brokaw writes that 'no block of marble or elaborate edifice can equal their lives of sacrifice and achievement, duty and honor, as monuments to their time.' In 'The Greatest Generation', he has compiled a moving scrapbook as a tribute to the members of the World War II generation to whom we Americans and the world owe so much."
