"In The Greatest Generation Grows Up, Kriste Lindenmeyer tells the story behind the roots of a famous generation. Here is an account of how children grew up in the 1930s, showing how American childhood through the teen years became formalized as an ideal by government policy, reinforced by cultural changes." "In all, the thirties experience worked to confer greater identity on American children, and Ms. Lindenmeyer's story provides essential background for understanding the origins of those men and women whom Tom Brokaw has called "America's greatest generation.""--Jacket.
First sentence: IN HIS 1998 book The Greatest Generation, Tom Brokaw provided a label for the group of young Americans who grew up during the Great Depression and entered adulthood in the war years.
