Title: Read Studs Terkle, "The Good War," instead.
Review: I tried to finish this homage to every WWII veteran Tom remembers from his distinguished journalistic career, but I couldn't. I got very tired of the author's ego interrupting the story these people told. This book is short on substance. I wanted to read more about their experiences and I felt the interviewer let a lot of good stories slip through his tape recorder. We are treated to a lot of boasting about how honest, hard-working and long-suffering this generation is. Clearly, there are other interviewers/writers who handle this same territory better. Studs Terkle comes to mind immediately. The generation Tom admires may indeed be the greatest. This book isn't.
