It describes how they entertained themselves, the risks they took, and how they solved problems. It tells of their hitchhiking escapades, the challenge of finding employment, the thrill of riding Chicago streetcars for free, and brushes with the law. Cunningham tells of how he and his friends learned vicariously of the horrors of World War II, in which most of his friends fought. Some of his friends returned home seriously injured. Some never returned. None were ever the same.--From publisher's description.
