During the 1980s and 1990s, aging Baby Boomer parents constructed a
particular type of memory as they attempted to laud their own
parents' wartime accomplishments with the label "The Greatest
Generation." This book is the first to tell the entire story of
this particular type of U.S. World War II memory begun by U.S.
President Ronald Reagan in 1984, and promoted the same year by
newscaster Tom Brokaw. The story continues in 1994, when it was
given academic credence by historian Stephen E. Ambrose, a sensory
realism and ideal American character by director Steven Spielberg
and actor Tom Hanks, sloganized by Tom Brokaw in 1998, and later
interpreted in light of 9/11 and new wars.
