Rating:
Summary: GREATEST GENERATION PERSONIFIED
Review: From the depths of the Great Depression of the 1930's through the Battle of Iwo Jima to the settling of Alaska, this book is filled with the sights and sounds of an entire generation. Mr. Rhodes was born into poverty, earned a Purple Heart for wounds on Iwo Jima, and lived the Alaskan dream. Pathos and hilarity, mixed with tragedy and triumph make this book a must reading for fans of "Saving Private Ryan", "The Greatest Generation", et. al.
