THE TWILIGHT OF THEIR LIVES

INDEX
391
In this magnificent testament to a nation and her people, Tom Brokaw
brings to life the extraordinary stories of a generation that gave new mean¬
ing to courage, sacrifice, and honor. From military heroes to community
leaders to ordinary citizens, he profiles men and women who served their
country with valor, then came home and transformed it: Senator Daniel
Inouye, decorated at the front, fighting prejudice at home; Martha Settle
Putney, one of the first black women to serve in the newly formed WACs;
Charles Van Gorder, a doctor who set up a MASH-like medical facility
in the middle of battle, then opened a small clinic in his hometown; Navy
pilot and future president George
H. W.
Bush, assigned to read the mail
of the enlisted men under him, who says that in doing so he learned
about life ; and many other laudable Americans. To this generation that
gave so much and asked so little, Brokaw offers eloquent tribute in true
stories of everyday heroes in extraordinary times.
