Masterfully compressing four crowded decades of our history, Manchester relives three events that befell the generation of Americans whose lives pivoted between the Americans before and the America after the Second World War. Tells the story of that generation. Interspersed throughout the narrative are brief briographies of notable Americans (such as Eleanor Roosevelt, Marilyn Monroe, Edward R. Murrow, Karl Hess, the Edsell and montages of popular songs, advertising jingles, bits of slang-anything that catchs the tone or conveys the flavor of a given period. In a hopeful and moving epilogue, the circle is brought around again to 1932 and to the children (among them the author) who were then just beginning to find their places in the world.
