Description
This is the story of seven imperfect members of that generation, their lives from 1932 through the war years ending in 1946 at a Veteran's Hospital in San Francisco. Their story is global, of romance, and tragedy, the music of their generation echoing beyond their years. No one wanted to be a hero. In the end all they wanted was to come home.
No one wanted war and few wanted to be heroes. Duty called in many guises but whether it was on a convoy ship in the frigid Artic, a cruiser in the Dutch East Indies, or a nurse in San Francisco, they did their duty, and when it was over all they wanted was to go home. The depression honed the character of the 317 men who lost their lives at the battle of Midway, and the many battles before and after. The story begins in 1932, concluding in 1946 at the Veteran's Hospital as strangers coming to terms with their common experience. The author uses the news reels of the times as the transitional voice.
