These accomplishments do not figure in his narrative, which ends a few months after the war and Hynes' service as a Marine dive-bomber pilot in the Pacific. Looking back, the author is convinced that members of his generation, who grew up not in college or at jobs but training for battle, shared a secret that "made us different from those who were older or younger than ourselves, or who were...
