Seasons of Empire - Stephen McMillion - Bog

At the end of WW II, the United States and the Soviet Union, each bristling with missiles and nuclear armaments, squared off against each other in a fight for world dominance, thus staging the dynamic into which the Baby Boomers were born. They were the ones who had to stand on the front lines as the United States amassed its power and sparred against global communism's expansionary ambitions, and stand they did. It defined their generation and changed the world, and Seasons of Empire tells how it happened as only one of those who got sucked into the vortex, spun around and around, and spit out again can tell it. It's their story. And so much more.
