A review from my old blog...

Rooney's acerbic style, evident in his regular segment on 60 minutes, shows up in spades in this book.

He describes his experience as a army newspaperman during WWII and does not hold back his opinion. He comes right out and says that he holds no respect for General George Patton.

While I still prefer the rather more idealistic tone/view of Tom Brokaw's Greatest Generation I appreciate learning about the experience of another person who experienced this momentous series of events in world history.

The book is well written and interesting even though Rooney uses more--but appropraite--coarse language than I usually am comfortable with.
