Baby boomers are post-war babies born between 1946 and roughly 1959, born to war parents or war children whom experienced a sustained period of rationing disruption, death and destruction across the world. The author only has personal experiences of growing up in this period and mixing with large numbers of baby boomers in particular working and middle-class boomers. The author's perception of this large group of people has prejudiced his view against them and openly admits his preference for the underdog in most situations.
