Publisher's Synopsis
The author grew up on The American Home Front during World War II and into the Fifties. See life back then like this "nasty little gutter tramp" saw it. Sample city chicken and scrambled brains, "mow down" imaginary Nazis and draw Kilroy on walls and sidewalks. This book gives voice to the Silent Generation--those born during the Great Depression whose views were largely shaped by wartime memories. Don and Helen Schroeder, married for nearly 60 years, reside in Destin, Florida with their Golden Retriever.
