About the book

This is the definitive 1980 book that coined the phrase "baby boomers" and put the baby-boom generation at the center of American life. This is the first description of the boomers' transformation of fads and fashion, politics and education, lifestyles and business styles. The choices they made will continue to influence us in the years ahead.
