Heirs To The Legacy: How the Cold War, Arms Race, and Space Race Shaped a Generation

By Steve Warford

Heirs To The Legacy is a memoir - not of just the author, but an entire generation. Six decades in the making, it is a story that stems from the right people, at the right time, with the right attitude: the Greatest Generation. Amid the fears of the Cold War and Arms Race plus the national euphoria of the Space Race, a generation of young Americans, as well as their counterparts on the other side of the Iron Curtain, were lofted to successes beyond their expectations. The author's thorough, but reader-friendly, treatment of the history and politics of the era, intertwined with the true-stories of twenty-plus otherwise ordinary individuals, lofted to personal greatness by the Legacy, will entertain, inform, and inspire the reader. You will be encouraged to take a long look back for the silver thread that connects the seemingly isolated events of your life. You, too, may conclude: "Life was good."
