Customer Reviews

A literate introduction to a real liberal

I was Mark's neighbor from 1980-1982, and came to know him as a gentle man (and gentleman). He and I shared some political ideas and we became friendly. I value this book as insite into the "Greater Generation" from a perspective that is different than most. Mark's story relates the difficulty in growing up in the Depression, his transition to adulthood, and the formation of personal values that trancend that era.
