Second, Gergen was talking about his new book "Hearts Touched With Fire: How Great Leaders Are Made". The book and interviews he has given are about passing the torch from one generation to the next in the contemporary American context of what comes after the Baby Boomers. In an interview he gave with Raju Narsetti for Mckinsey publishing, he stated the idea for the book started five or eight years ago. He has not said one single word tying anything in his book too Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

He didn’t have to. If Gerkin wrote a whole book lambasting baby boomers then it’s even worse. The reasons why the baby boomer generation had it so easy are the riches and the void of competition brought on by winning WWII, not because of some manufactured esoteric social gobbledygook. The Mediterranean mob which “the greatest generation” created in its Euro-African supply chain created the ugly anything-goes Vietnam flesh and drugs market ....which created its own communist opposition. Then “the greatest generation” forciblyconscripted the blood of hundreds of thousands of baby boomers to try and protect their screwup. 58,000 of us lost our lives to protect their little Peyton Place.
American are not born into this world to serve other Americans pleasure.
As for Gerkin’s criticism that baby boomers failed to hand the reins of American society over to successive generations like “the greatest generation” did? ....Bullshit. Baby boomers never received those reins, because “the greatest generation” held onto the reins until they died.
