This is a good series which deals with American history from the dawn of the century through the 20th century. The characters seem real and the real historical characters are well done and seem real. This whole series is currently listed as available and the books are in good shape. It has been like re-living my lifetime to read them. I think many of you my age (81) will find this a really good walk down history's lane. I especially liked the book dealing with the Cold War and the l950 era. It took me right back to some really good years. To this day I still prefer "rock and roll" and try to dance each time I hear one of the "oldies". The author "nailed" the l950 era. Genny

Continuing his story of life in the 1940s, the series picks up at the very end of WWII with the end of the war in the Pacific and the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Shaylin McKay has returned to the US from reporting about the war in Europe. Willie Canfield has returned from Germany and come back to run his airline. Travis Jackson has returned as a heroic pilot but still faces the same discrimination that he faced before the war. Eric Twainbough is following the Nuremburg trials where Karl Tannenhower is now being charged with war crimes. Anna Gelbman has been reunited with her duagher Miriam and her husband and they are establishing a new life in a new Israel. And Guy Colby faces McCarthy in the Communist witch hunts and finds himself blacklisted.

The story is well-written but it is starting to pull away from what I consider the main characters of the story the original members of the story. At this point in the continuing saga, many characters have been introduced and they are all some how intertwined with one another, but the author has stopped telling the stories of the original characters and follows the new ones.
