Tom Brokaw was born and raised in South Dakota. The lessons he learned there and the midwestern work ethic of his parents shaped him as he grew up. He gives much credit to the way he lived as a boy making him into the man and the journalist he became. He told how he loves to return to South Dakota but in a way, no longer belongs there. His parents had rather difficult childhoods but went on to embrace family values to shape their boys into good men. "The Greatest Generation" was a great book. This one was interesting but less gripping since it only focused on Brokaw himself.
Rating - B
