Overview
In the decade following World War II, the time of the Baby Boomers, life was much different than today for the children growing up. There was almost unlimited freedom for kids. They could go out and play without parental supervision. "Be home for lunch!" or "Be home by ten!" was often the only restrictions they had during the summer or weekends during the school year. It didn't matter if they lived in small towns in the Midwest, the cities of the east coast, or on military bases in the United States or Europe. They had plenty of friends to play with and the dangers of drugs or abduction wasn't even on their radar. The biggest fear of the day was whether or not the commies would release the A-Bomb on American cities. Rock 'n' Roll was taking over the sound waves and baseball was the national pastime. It was a great time to be alive. Europe was rebuilding after the war and the United States had a huge presence in Europe, especially in Germany. Growing up on military bases during the '50s and '60s left the door wide open for adventures and hijinks on a grand scale. Army Brats is a story of a young boy growing up as a military dependent during that time.
