| Synopsis | Noted broadcast journalist Tom Brokaw, who was there, revisits the turbulent 1960s through incisive interviews with others who were there (and who survived), to provide a fresh account of a period of history that without any doubt changed America and Americans. Brokaw frames his account of the political and popular culture of the time with his own life story. And though he was not a member of the counterculture, his incisive interviews with the likes of Mark Rudd, Gloria Steinem, Berry Gordy and James Taylor, among others, are fleshed out by generous and incisive context from Brokaw's present perspective. As he did in his bestselling THE GREATEST GENERATION, Brokaw tells the story of an era through the personal lives of its participants, as he follows the Ed Murrow model using a timely "you are there" style.

| | Industry reviews | "[Tom Brokaw] approaches this magnum opus with warmth, curiosity and conviction, the same attributes that worked so well for his GREATEST GENERATION. And he will succeed in prompting readers to step back and do some soul searching. BOOM is as interesting for the effects it can catalyze as for those it actually describes....On the page, as he is on the screen, Mr. Brokaw is a canny, perceptive interviewer with an honest interest in what other people have to say." (11/05/2007)
"[U]ltimately, [BOOM!] is about personalities, and that is its charm--the chance to meet so many interesting people." (11/01/2007)
