Description
Memoirs of a Baby Boomer is for everyone, whether you grew up in the 1950s and '60s, or whether you wish to experience a different kind of childhood in America. Philip Haldeman's remarkable memory, youthful quest for knowledge, and search for identity will transport you to a world only a writer like Haldeman can take you to. This was a world before the internet, before smart phones, before constant adult supervision-a world in which kids played outside until dark and made up their own games; but also a world in which kids practiced "duck and cover" at school beneath a terrifying cloud of hydrogen destruction. Haldeman guides you through a personal world of extended family, friends or their opposites, loved or feared teachers, as well as movies, television, books, science and science fiction, first experiences with girls, pop music, pranks, near-kisses and near-misses-all against a set of world events seen through the eyes of a remarkable childhood. Whoever you are at whatever age, take this journey.
