From Publishers Weekly
Brokaw's The Greatest Generation examined an era that brought America together, while Boom! considers some of the most divisive years in American history. Inviting listeners to a virtual reunion of characters from the 1960s (which he loosely defines as the years between 1963 and 1972), this compendium of interviews and anecdotes is loosely held together by Brokaw's own biographical time line and opinions. His warm, familiar voice is still filled with genuine curiosity, which listeners will find hard to resist. On audio, Brokaw's diction becomes a little rough around the edges, occasionally letting words run together. Brokaw, who has been a guest in our living rooms for as long as many people can remember, is still welcome to report on the world as he sees it.

From AudioFile
Longtime ÒNBC Nightly NewsÓ anchor and political commentator Tom Brokaw offers his own take on the infamous events of the 1960s, as well as on his own life during that arduous period. An accomplished narrator, given his years behind the news desk, Brokaw is steadfast in his delivery and clarity. However, his often imitated and unmistakable voice and accent may grate on the ears of many listeners. Nevertheless, BrokawÕs reading is exceptionally professional and seemingly heartfelt, offering listeners a side of his personality rarely revealed in the media. A compelling narrative from one of the most gifted presenters in recent memory. L.B. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
