Aprašymas

Extraordinary stories of ordinary men and women whose lives were changed forever by landmark legislation--and how they went on to change the country.

Inspiring war stories are familiar. But what about after-the-war stories? From a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, Over Here is the Greatest Generation's after-the-war story--vivid portraits of how the original G.I. Bill empowered an entire generation and reinvented the nation. The G.I. Bill opened college education to the masses, transformed America from a nation of renters into a nation of homeowners, and enabled an era of prosperity never before seen in the world. Doctors, teachers, engineers, researchers, and Nobel Prize winners who had never considered college an option rewrote the American Dream thanks to this most visionary legislation.

"Vivid . . . Deeply moving, alive with the thrill of people from modest backgrounds discovering that the opportunities available to them were far greater than anything they had dreamed of." --Los Angeles Times

"Poignant . . . The human dramas scattered throughout the narrative are irresistible." --The Denver Post

"Fascinating . . . The book's statistics are eye-opening, but it's the numerous personal vignettes that bring this account to life. . . . At its best, these passages are reminiscent of Studs Terkel's Depression-era and World War II oral histories." --The Plain Dealer
