Critics Review
“Tom Brokaw has delivered a gift to this and future generations by bringing us these inspiring personal stories of the average Joes, the GI Joes, the young men and women who served our country and shaped the foundation of post-war America. Although some became famous, most returned to their hometowns dedicated to building an even better world… Tom has held up a mirror to reflect what may be their greatest legacy” Stephen Spielberg about The Greatest Generation
