First off, this book is currently out of print, so if you can find a copy, you've found a real treasure. I had never heard of Anton Myrer or any of his books, but I may have to start a new hunt for a great author. This book, The Last Convertible, is about our preconceived notions of class. Through the lives of a group of college students, we get to see the privilege of class most in that group take for granted. Throw into the mix a scholarship student, and views and stereotypes abound. Then comes war. War will and does change people - sometimes for good, sometimes not, sometimes lasting a lifetime, sometimes short-lived.
The author knows from what he writes, as he is a graduate of Harvard University and a veteran of World War II. If you want a good read about a generation captured within the confines of a book, Anton Myrer's The Last Convertible should be a real treat.
