Baby Boomer Reflections

According to History.com, “almost exactly nine months after World War II ended, ‘the cry of the baby was heard across the land,’ as historian Landon Jones later described the trend. More babies were born in 1946 than ever before: 3.4 million, 20 percent more than in 1945. This was the beginning of the so-called ‘baby boom.’ In 1947, another 3.8 million babies were born; 3.9 million were born in 1952; and more than 4 million were born every year from 1954 until 1964, 18 years later, when the boom finally tapered off. By then, there were 76.4 million baby boomers in the United States. They made up almost 40 percent of the nation’s population.”

This book tells about who they were and what they did, while they did it.
