Defending Baltimore Against Enemy Attack: A Boyhood Year During World War II

Rating:
Summary: Nostalgic but Exasperating
Review: There's no denying Charles Osgood's talent at writing. I immediately fell in love with this amusing and sweet tale of childhood in the 1940's. Nonetheless, this book quickly began to frustrate me. While describing his own childhood, Osgood is too critical of today's society and today's children for my tastes. I wanted to read a story about boyhood in the 1940's, not a lecture about the parenting skills of modern mothers and fathers. So, I would definitely recommend getting this book... from your local library.
