Title: Honor the WWII Generation --- by reading something else
Review: I've read this book and the first sequel, and was extremely disappointed with both. Brokaw is a poor writer, and a lousy editor. Although there are undoubtedly great stories to be told here, Brokaw manages to reduce the life stories of the greatest generation to tedium. It just isn't worth wading through the muck for the occasional nugget of good story.As a gift for someone of the WWII generation, this book might make sense. Otherwise, a person's time would be better spent by reading a WWII book from someone else. Or perhaps by watching "Saving Private Ryan" again.Skip this loser, and the loser sequel. There are better choices out there.
