The Baby Boomers grew up to be a baffling mix of idealism, creativity, selfishness, and destruction (with more contradictions thrown in). As a generational force, they overturned morality, multiplied social pathologies, and attacked Western civilization. Yet the Boomers were raised by “The Greatest Generation,” the generation that saw America through the Second World War, fighting and dying to rescue that civilization. What happened?
Boomers’ Families: How a Generation Became a Force for Destruction is an eyewitness account of the making of the destructive Boomer generation. Margaret Devlin, born in the 1950s, uses her own life to show us not only what happened to the Boomers, but also how and why. Devlin knows that the Boomers did not auto-create themselves, and she couples compelling experiences of her Dickensian family and friends with penetrating analysis.
This autobiographical book particularly explores child rearing, which is the deep foundation of the modern culture and the people in it. Not just the Boomers, but Generation Xers, Millennials and Zoomers were largely reared to be revolutionaries. In essence, Boomers’ Families makes clear that since all the generations living today have been socially engineered, we all have the same options—either we battle “the invisible elites” or we become part of them.
Devlin introduces us to her high-achieving Catholic family and, from her journals and other primary sources, she recounts the story of developing neuroses, as corruption from within and without set in motion destructive forces. Boomers’ Families delves into psychology, philosophy, history, cultural studies and Christianity (especially Catholicism) to explain the Boomers’ origins. She has identified through personal experience the engines that power social engineering: lying and irrationality. But Devlin’s life is richer than just politics and cultural studies, and she invites you into that life as she travels to California, Oregon, Afghanistan, India, and South America and as she overcomes her own emotional disorders.
Among the many powerful stories about growing up as a Boomer are the riveting portraits of the radical Left’s takeover of Christianity, the beginning of its takeover of universities and the corresponding first steps to power of the people who gave us Critical Race Theory. Finally, she invites you to share in her return to Christianity and her happy discovery of conservative thought.
Boomers’ Families seeks to wrest some good from the Boomers’ story by using it to show how great is the power of unseen manipulators. While it exposes mechanisms that the “invisible elite” use to control the unaware, it also shows that the human soul, with God’s help, can uncover and resist this manipulation in order to live as a free, emotionally mature human being, following God’s way of love and truth and not that of an arrogant, deceptive and error-ridden elite. Knowledge is power, and recognizing social engineering is the key to withstanding it.
If you want to understand not only the Boomers, but also the generations that followed, the reason our society is broken, and what to do about it, then you will want to read the intelligent and penetrating analysis and fascinating story that Boomers’ Families offers.
Because we publish the works of Father John Hugo, Margaret Clare Devlin (a pseudonym) came to us at Castle of Grace LLC and asked us to publish her book Boomers’ Families: How a Generation Became a Force for Destruction. (Fr. Hugo plays a key role in Margaret’s return to Christianity.) We also worked with her on developing the cover illustration, which Helen Rose Fielding, part of the Castle of Grace team, then painted.
Reviews praising the book were published in Renew America, AKA Catholic and in Culture Wars magazine, as well as on the Amazon site.
