Boomers : the men and women who promised freedom and delivered disaster / by Andrews, Helen(Millennial journalist),author.(CARDINAL)846783;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 201-229) and index."For the first time in American history, a generation is worse off than their parents.

In this book, millennial journalist Helen Andrews calls the Boomers to account. With wit and conviction, she presents profiles of luminaries who promised much but failed to deliver, including Camille Paglia, Aaron Sorkin, Steve Jobs, and Sonia Sotomayor. In covering the mighty works of these titans, Andrews reveals how their lives and their generational idiosyncrasies have secretly deformed--in plain sight--our society and our successive generations"--
