"The Wasted Generation" is a book by Owen Johnson which is centered on a character David Littledale affected by the unexpected war and the circumstances that surround it. This book focuses on the reflection of David on his entire life; his once social life partying, searching for entertainment, and trying so hard not to be bored with life concerning his current situation at the center of the first world war. A book on self-reflection and self-discipline for both young and old.
My generation in Eastern Europe was caught in the middle of two revolutions (1944 and 1989), which instead of moving history ahead pushed it backward. We thus at first made a U-turn-a tortuous one, to be sure-from underdeveloped capitalism to underdeveloped socialism, but because socialism and underdevelopment are strange bedfellows,we have since discovered we were on the wrong path and are trying now to return to where we started. The drama of that generation is what this book is about.
Col. Walton served in the planning section of the Selective Service System's national headquarters from 1957 until his retirement in 1964. Writing about the generation that came of military age during the fifties and Vietnam, Walton saw a decline in national morals, civility, and responsibility. The Army, he felt, could improve the "empty heads and wasted bodies" that now characterized American youth. Col. Walton's solution is a system of truly universal national service, military or civilian, for all men between the ages of 18 and 20. - Kirkus Review.
The Wasted Generation' is a philosophical study of a man's progress to maturity. David Littledale is an American who lived in France before the war began. He was a part of the privileged class who spent his time partying and trying not to be bored with life. But things change for Littledale once the war begins. The writer beautifully described how he looked deep within himself and into the world around him, trying to making sense of it all.
According the author, this work was inspired by a comment credited to Prof. Wole Soyinka, Nigerian foremost playwright, poet, novelist, and Nobel laureate, describing the present generation of Nigeria as A WASTED GENERATION, and the activism of the Nigerian foremost and indefatigable human rights crusader, Late Chief Gani Fawehinmi. The novel is an expose of corruption in every segment of African society. It exposes the political, religious, educational, economical and moral decay and decadence in Africa. It satirizes the leadership mistrust and dissappointment.
Cynicism and black humor underscore this memoir of alcoholism and subsequent recovery. Journalist Mark Judge candidly chronicles the twists and turns of his downward spiral of alcohol abuse and addiction and captures the ethos of a young generation often suspicious and alienated by the Twelve-Step approach of Alcoholics Anonymous.
