Summary:
In his earlier books, TV news anchor Tom Brokaw has leaned heavily on
the experiences of others to remember and define what he calls "the
Greatest Generation"--those who came of age during World War II and
its aftermath. In A Long Way Home Brokaw turns inward to focus on his
own experiences growing up in South Dakota, his early years a
broadcaster working in a then-novel medium, and his still-deep
connection to the Midwestern people, places, and values that shaped
him. In this bluntly effective and homespun memoir, Brokaw argues
that, no matter how far one may travel--say, to New York and through
five decades of a successful broadcast journalism career--it's
possible to remain a true creature of the heartlands. It's a message
that is likely to resonate most emphatically with those of Brokaw's
generation, though its basic premise can be applied more universally
as well. --David Bombeck
