Book Reviews of An Album of Memories: Personal Histories from the Greatest Generation

Book Review: More memories from the "Greatest Generation"
Summary: 4 Stars

Brokaw provides another moving tribute to what he refers to as the "Greatest Generation." Many of the letters included here are quite emotional and touching. This book also includes timelines for the war in Europe, the Pacific, and the homefront, as well as the depression, and also touches on areas not addressed in the two earlier books. There is also an abundance of period photographs and copies of documents, submitted by the letter writers. These help to put a human face on the various stories.
