[edit] Greatest Generation Speaks
A moving collection of the letters received by Tom Brokaw following the publication of 'The Greatest Generation' in the US last year.
Veteran reporter Tom Brokaw went to France to make a documentary marking the 40th anniversary of D-day in 1984. Although he was thoroughly briefed on the historical background of the invasion, he was totally unprepared for how it would affect him emotionally. Flooded with childhood memories of World War II, Brokaw began asking veterans at the ceremony to revisit their past and talk about what happened, triggering a chain reaction of war-tom confessions and Brokaw's compulsion to capture their experiences in what he terms 'the permanence a book would represent.' After almost 15 years and hundreds of letters and interviews, Brokaw wrote The Greatest Generation, a representative cross-section of the stories he came across. Following publication of The Greatest Generation in the US last year, thousands of readers wrote to Tom Brokaw in reaction to the book. The Greatest Generation Speaks is a moving collection of these letters which on publication went straight to the New York Times Non Fiction Bestselling list.
