Tom Brokaw tells the story of a generation of America's citizen heroes and heroines who came of age during the Great Depression and the Second World War and went on to build modern America. This generation was united by a common purpose and by common values - duty, honor, economy, courage, service, love of family and country, and, above all, responsibility for oneself. Their everyday lives reveal how a generation persevered through war, were trained by it, and then went on to create the America we have today. You'll relive with ordinary men and women, military heroes, people of great achievment, and community leaders how extraordinary times forged the values and provided the training that made a people and nation great.
