- W85589802 abstract "Abstract : In final decade of 20th century, this nation focused attention on noble and courageous men and women who, 50 years earlier, had participated in World War II. Thanks to a best-selling book by newscaster Tom Brokaw, Americans who came of age in 1930s and early 1940s became known as the greatest generation. Many of those who fought or supported war effort humbly disavowed such a superlative. No one, however, can deny achievements of those citizens who grew up in hard times of Great Depression. These young people helped win largest conflict in world history and went on to make further contributions to this country during long Cold War that followed. Despite all of its death and destruction, World War II accelerated growth of scientific knowledge and march of technology. As one consequence of this, military services -- in partnership with nation's universities -- trained many young Americans, especially those with a background in science and engineering, to operate and maintain new technologies so important to war effort. Others contributed as civilian scientists and engineers. After war, many veterans who had been exposed to these new technologies took advantage of G.I. Bill to seek advanced degrees in science, engineering, mathematics, and related disciplines. When Cold War set off a prolonged arms race and space competition with Soviet Union, this well-educated cadre of greatest generation was ready to provide technical and managerial expertise needed to meet Soviet challenge. Combining patriotism with a desire to be on cutting edge of technology, these technocrats played key roles in defense industry, university and federal research centers, military services, and other government agencies. Dr. John L. McLucas was one of finest examples in this group of influential public servants. This monograph is an autobiography of Dr. John L. McLucas," @default.
