In 1995, Kevin published his first book (foreword by George Gallup, Jr.), examining the values, needs, and beliefs of Generation X. Gallup said, “Kevin Ford sheds new light on a generation that has been misunderstood and maligned. He does so with keen insight and compassion.” This book is available in four translations on six continents and is in its 7th printing in the United States.
