The book explicitly states a desire to risk "predicting" future trends, so that readers of the future could easily judge his theories for their pragmatic worth. Fifteen years after publication, confirmation of this book's concepts can be found in both the macro environment of world events and the microcosm of the thoughtful reader's own web of social interactions: with parents, coworkers, peers and children. The book's thesis is that American history follows a near-century long cycle of four generational archetypes: secular builders, spiritual seekers, pragmatic rebels and refined curators. The living examples of these types are the G.I. generation who fought in WWII, the Boomers, Generation "X", and the "silent generation"-- born too late to fight with the GIs and too early to uh... frolic... with the Boomers. The book takes us on an tour of American history, highlighting the interplay between the historical forces shaping each generation in their youth, and how each generation makes their stamp on history as adults. It's a compelling argument, in that he illustrates how that generation's impact sets the stage for the generations following, perpetuating the cycle. The story is well-told and insightful; I am no scholar of history, but there is an intensely believable intellectual honesty. A significant deviation in the pattern appears at the time of the Civil War, but rather than shoehorn the facts to fit their pattern, the authors concede the disruption, analyze the situation, and present an explanation that rings true; indeed, that echoes into the present day. Here are just two simple predictions from the book (written in 1990-91, published in '92): American presidential leadership "skipping over" the Silent generation, from the "greatest generation" GIs to the Boomer generation (Bush I to Clinton). A "secular crisis" in the first decade of the millennium -- and the potentially disastrous results if that happened too early in the decade, when crusading Boomers were in charge, but pragmatic (yes, I said pragmatic) Xers were not yet influential enough to effect the implementation of policy. Written before the Internet, before the Clinton presidency, before "Generation X" was even named (Douglas Coupland's book came out contemporaneously, so the authors call Xers "13ers", acknowledging that their culturally accepted name will likely be different) "Generations: A History of America's Future, 1584-2069" should be read by anyone looking for an insightful, well researched sociological study with a futurist slant. Deep without resorting to cryptic conspiracy theory, Strauss & Howe's work is a page-turning read which could improve both our political decisions and our family relations.
I loved this book so much that I decided to teach it. And teaching it made me reread Virginia Woolf, and so I have a double debt of gratitude to Cunningham, because Mrs Dalloway has never been so luminous as in the light of this distant tribute. A sensitive, thoughtful and thought-provoking novel. In retrospect it seems predictable at times. But even the predictable parts are handled with great care and tact, and always with Cunningham's kind, and compelling, prose.
This series rocks! Funny, adventurous, and chockfull of Greek mythology.
I'm still trying to figure out what I want to say in the review for this book. I loved this beautiful, dark story so much. Review coming soon.

It gets one star for being funny, although he steals his funny from PG Wodehouse. And one star for for one good recipe. The British ought to stay away from attempting Mexican food. Lamb Kidneys? You're suggesting hungover people ought to eat lamb kidneys on toast?!!
I really liked the first part of this book, but the ending was a little too melodramatic for me.

Mike Mays has been blind since an accident at age 3. He became the CIA's first blind intelligence analyst, became a champion skiier, a successful businessman and entrepreneur and a family man. He never missed his vision, but in 1999 he received news that a new stem-cell transplant surgery could restore his vision. But the anti-rejection drugs he has to take (probably for the rest of his life) put him at a very high risk for cancer and other problems. This book follows Mays through his decision to have the surgery. Of the fewer than 20 cases in which a blind person regains vision later in life, each of them suffered a deep depression. "Crashing Through" tells of May's journey and explores not just sight, but what it means to see.

I was very impressed with this book. Hans Fallada was a great writer and I look forward to reading more of his books. It was great to read a WWII book completely from the perspective of everyday Germans in Berlin.
