Requests:  0 Summary:  The author, known for his landmark work in American journalism and for his other books, The Greatest Generation, and Boom!, now turns his attention to the challenges that face America in the new millennium, to offer reflections on how we can restore America's greatness. "What happened to the America I thought I knew?" he writes. "Have we simply wandered off course, but only temporarily? Or have we allowed ourselves to be so divided that we are easy prey for hijackers who could steer us onto a path to a crash landing? I do have some thoughts, original and inspired by others, for our journey into the heart of a new century." Rooted in the values, lessons, and verities of generations past and of his South Dakota upbringing, he weaves together stories of Americans who are making a difference and personal stories from his own family history, to engage us in a conversation about our country and to offer ideas for how we can revitalize the promise of the American Dream. Inviting us to foster a rebirth of family, community, and civic engagement as profound as the one that won World War II, built our postwar prosperity, and ushered in the Civil Rights era, he traces the changes in modern life, in values, education, public service, housing, the Internet, and more, that have transformed our society in the decades since the age of thrift in which he was raised. Offering ideas from Americans who are change agents in their communities, he gives us a book that is a vision of hopefulness in an age of diminished expectations.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aiea Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.927 Br Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.927 Br Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 973.927 Br Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.927 Br Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.927 Br Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waialua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.927 Br Checked In Add Copy to MyList
