6.26.15 Thorne Dreyer with Rag Radio interviews Richard Pells

4.10.15 James A. Cox with Midwest Book Review reviews War Babies:

War Babies: The Generation That Changed America considers the lives and careers of Americans born between 1939 and 1945: a generation replete with artistic personalities from musicians to actors and one that has fostered many social changes in this country. It’s hard to neatly categorize War Babies: it’s not a set of biographies, it’s not a focus on social issues of the times – it’s more of a history of those people and forces that shaped a particular era. And so this book is reviewed here and recommended for a general American history audience who will find in War Babies a coverage that documents a particular segment of society in a particular space of time: a lively discussion of how social change occurs.
