"Lenny Steinhorn presents compelling evidence that Boomers significantly shaped--and improved--their times. This is a counterintuitive examination of a generation that is far more complex and far more influential than is commonly believed."
--Frank Senso, former CNN Washington bureau chief

While the Greatest Generation deserves our praise for surviving the Depression and fighting in World War II, the Baby Boomers, this book argues, are in many ways as great a generation--if not greater--for how they have advanced equality and freedom at home. It's fashionable to mock Boomers as self-involved and materialistic. But what really is the true legacy of the Boomers?

To understand how Boomers have changed America, think back to the 1950s--but without the nostalgia. Women were kept at home, minorities were denied their dignity, homosexuality was a crime, and anyone who marched to a different drummer was labeled un-American and viewed as a threat.

Today we live in a far more open, inclusive, tolerant, and equal America than at any other time in our history. And that's because Baby Boomers, from the Sixties onward, have fought a great cultural war to free America from its prejudices, inequalities, and fears. The Greater Generation tells the story of this generation's accomplishments--and finally gives Boomers their due.

"The Greater Generation reminds us that today's legacy of social justice, diversity, and individual freedom didn't just fall from the sky; it's a consequence of a hard-fought progressive struggle fought on the home front by a morally engaged American generation."
--Marty Kaplan, Air America radio host and director of the Norman Lear Center at the University of Southern Califormnia Annenberg School for Communication

Great fit and makes potty training easier
Size: 3T-4T, Unit Count: 84
These training pants have been a big help during potty training. They fit comfortably and feel soft against the skin, more like real underwear than a diaper. The stretchy sides make them easy for little ones to pull up and down on their own, which really helps with independence. They do a good job holding small accidents without leaking, and the fun character designs make my little one more excited to wear them. The pack comes with plenty to last through the training phase, which is nice when you’re going through a few each day. Tip: keep a few extras in the car or diaper bag for outings. It makes potty training on the go so much easier.

Great Pull-ups that Don't Leak!
Size: 3T-4T, Unit Count: 20
I was on the hunt for the perfect potty training pants for my little guy, and Pull-Ups Boys' Potty Training Pants in size 3T-4T turned out to be a great find. We’ve tried a few different brands, but these have been the most reliable. The design is fun and colorful, which my son loves, and it makes him excited to wear them. The fit is spot on for his size (32-40 lbs), and he moves around comfortably without any leaks. The absorbency is impressive – it gives me peace of mind knowing accidents won’t mean a complete outfit change. Overall, these Pull-Ups have made the potty training process a lot smoother for both of us. There are a few things to note, though. The price is a bit higher compared to some other brands, but I believe the quality justifies it. Also, while they are great during the day, we still need a bit more protection at night. I find myself using an extra layer for nighttime just to be safe. The packaging could also be improved – a resealable option would be nice to keep the remaining training pants fresh and organized. Despite these minor issues, I’m really happy with the product, and my son is well on his way to being fully potty trained. Pros: - Fun and colorful design that my son loves - Perfect fit for 32-40 lbs, allowing comfortable movement - Excellent absorbency, minimizing leaks - Helps make the potty training process smoother Cons: - Slightly higher price compared to other brands - Not as effective for overnight use, requiring additional protection - Packaging lacks a resealable option for convenience

These training pants are amazing. My son uses them whenever he’s taking a nap or sleeping throughout the night. I’ve ordered these multiple times and we’ve never had an issue with leaking.

Great for potty training
Size: 3T-4T, Unit Count: 20
We really like these pull ups and they have worked well for us during potty training. They are easy to pull on and off, which is great for toddlers who are learning to be more independent. They fit well and do a good job containing messes without leaking. I also like that they feel comfortable and not too bulky, so my child can move around easily. Overall, these have been a reliable option for us and something we continue to use during this stage.
