Download or read book Boomer Nation written by Steve Gillon and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-05-11 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Baby Boomers, born between 1946 and 1964, form the single largest demographic spike in American history. Never before or since have birth rates shot up and remained so high so long, with some obvious results: when the Boomers were kids, American culture revolved around families and schools; when they were teenagers, the United States was wracked by rebelliousness; now, as mature adults, the Boomers have led America to become the richest and most powerful country in the history of the world. Boomer Nation will for the first time offer an incisive look into this generation that has redefined America's culture in so many ways, from women's rights and civil rights to religion and politics. Steve Gillon combines firsthand reporting of the lives of six Boomers and their families with a broad look at postwar American history in a fascinating mix of biography and history. His characters, like America itself, reflect a variety of heritages: rich and poor, black and white, immigrant and native born. Their lives take very different paths, yet are shaped by key events and trends in similar ways. They put a human face on the Boomer generation, showing what it means to grow up amid widespread prosperity, with an explosion of democratic autonomy that led to great upheavals but also a renewal from below of our churches, industries, and even the armed forces. The same generation dismissed as pampered and selfish has led a revival of religion in America; the same generation that unleashed the women's movement has also shifted our politics into its most market-oriented, anti-governmental era since Woodrow Wilson. Gillon draws many lessons from this "generational history" -- above all, that the Boomers have transformed America from the security- and authority-seeking culture of their parents to the autonomy- and freedom-rich world of today. When the "greatest generation" was young and not yet at war, it was widely derided as selfish and spoiled. Only in hindsight, long after the sacrifices of World War II, did it gain its sterling reputation. Today, as Boomer America rises to the challenges of the war on terror, we may be on the cusp of a reevaluation of the generation of Presidents Bush and Clinton. That generation has helped make America the richest, strongest nation on the planet, and as Gillon's book proves, it has had more influence on the rest of us than any other group. Boomer Nation is an eye-opening reinterpretation of the past six decades.

Book excerpt: Hello fellow Baby Boomers and those who would like to read a book that may explain your parents, grandparents, and some of your great grandparents. This is the story of one of these Baby Boomers, me. My book, A Boomer's Tale, is a fun and sometimes serious stroll through the life and times of me. I interject as much humor as I can, in the hope that I can entertain while educating you starting with my early childhood in the 50's coming of age in the 60's and 70's. My Marine Corps and Vietnam experiences, my post-military life growing a family along with a long-haul trucking career, up till today will entertain and educate. You fellow Boomers and Vietnam vets may see yourself in these pages. This is the kind of book I wish my parents and grandparents would have written, so I could have better known their lives.

Ed introduces the reader to the inside working of the adolescent male mind as he navigates dating and relationship ups and downs.

Book Synopsis TALE OF A BOOMER by : Roy Crittenden
Download or read book TALE OF A BOOMER written by Roy Crittenden and published by . This book was released on 2021-12-02 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BOOMER: A Boomer or Baby Boomer is a popular term used to describe the generation born at the end of WW11 between the years 1946 and 1964 when massive military troops returned home from war and as a result there was a Boom in the birth of babies. Boomers make up over twenty percent of the United States population. The topic for this short story came about as a reflection of my childhood years on a remote farm in Central Washington. Contemplation of my youthful experiences brought forth a tidal wave of memories, which were both profound and noteworthy. The emotions that sprang back to life seemed to justify a story be developed, written, and shared. This retrospection caused me to internalize those things which were important to me in later years. As the layers of my memory peeled back, the era and topic of the book became clear. It was a warm, loving, and pivotal time in my youth-one in which I transitioned from a reckless city lifestyle to one that was characterized by strict discipline and military-style regimentation on the farm. The story is a period of my past that I reflect upon to this day and feel good about. I was inspired and motivated by Grandparents and a supportive uncle, both that had my best interest and warmth of heart in mind. The familial research for the story reached back to what was then called the Old Country, Russia, Ellis Island, the Dakotas, Montana, Oklahoma, Washington, and Oregon. Little did I know that my research would also delve into geography, immigration, migration, pandemics, epidemics, watersheds, the nuclear arms race, pollution, politics, and human bonding. I spent a good deal of time on this manuscript and came to the stark realization that it's not the length of the story but the depth of introspection and the story that is born. For me, there was an inverse relationship between the two. Writing this story was a surprise and an emotional roller-coaster ride for me. The writing process was a paradox, which was both painful and loving. As you read the pages of the book, look deep into your own past with your mind wide open and allow your memories to flow forward. My hope is that the reader is able to relive the innocence of their youth initiated by the thoughts on the following pages. Let the gray matter awaken and the journey begins.

Book Synopsis A Baby Boomer's Last Stand by : Jon Alexander Young
Download or read book A Baby Boomer's Last Stand written by Jon Alexander Young and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-16 with total page 638 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first volume of Jon Alexander Young's new trilogy A Baby Boomer's Last Stand: A True Story of a Novel Life from Truman to Trump, is an insightful biography of an entrepreneur that millions of people probably thought they knew, after having seen him onstage or appearing in all forms of the media for the past fifty years, but actually never really knew at all.Throughout the last half of the twentieth century, this baby boomer was pioneer in many cultural changes that occurred in America during that time while also trying to show people how to have fun....at least for a while.During his unique and different career choices as an editor and publisher of a ground breaking national newspaper; one of America' s first nightclub and disco promoters; an award winning songwriter and theatrical producer; to a "sometimes" rock star and even well-known gambler and poker player; this baby boomer crossed paths and partied with hundreds of world famous entertainers and celebrities, politicians, sports legends, rock stars, and even some notorious mobsters. But most never saw any connections between those aspects of his life when they may have met him, because it all depended on what name he was using at the time.These volumes of books are more than the typical sex, drugs and rock and roll story, but are a very personal and detailed recollection of the funny, crazy, hedonistic, dramatic and fateful decisions that many may associate with their own personal journeys during those times.From Las Vegas, Hollywood and Beverly Hills, to eventually almost every corner of the United States (and sometimes the world), this journey should bring smiles to those who remember the people, places, events, and especially the music of the baby boomer era.The reader can experience "walking in the shoes" of somebody who some people may condemn today, but also somebody who once was looked at with envy before it became too "politically incorrect" to do so.From Truman to Trump was a long journey for most baby boomers and it all starts here.

Book excerpt: Twenty years ago, the KGB planted an agent in the American Navy. Today he is the commander of an American nuclear attack submarine! Wayne Newell is all-Navy, all-American, all-traitor. A graduate of the Soviet "Charm School," Newell is captain of the nuclear attack submarine USS Pasadena, now patrolling beneath the Pacific. He's convinced his crew that the world is at war — and that the Russians have a deadly masking device that makes Soviet submarines sound exactly like the most crucial ships in the American fleet: the nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines known as Boomers. The subs that Pasadena detects may sound American — but they're the enemy and must be destroyed. The deception has begun... In a world of darkness, super-sensitive listening devices and nerve-wracking tension, Newell's crew is being driven to the breaking point, cut off from communications, forced to destroy "enemy" subs in a war they can't confirm. And while the U.S. Pacific Command scrambles to find out who is attacking their fleet, two American submarines must go to war — against an aggressor who knows their every move, and is rapidly destroying America's sea-based strategic nuclear defense. "Technically brilliant...plus the added bonus of strong characters and an intelligent plot." — Nelson DeMille "Taylor rachets the suspense well past the breaking point...BOOMER is a hell of a fine sea story!" — Stephen Coonts
