About the Book
An inside view of five generations coping with the events of the 20th Century. It covers living in a small Pennsylvania town in the first half of the 1900s; cadet life at West Point; serving in the Occupation Army in Germany after World War II; the Nuremberg Trials of the Nazi leaders; visiting Prague the day the Communists took over in 1948; the development of a 200-person law firm; Connecticut politics; the goings-on in a family during the 1960s, 1970s and later years; and the changes that occurred in a family's views on political and social issues. It is a 100-year journey reduced to three hours.
