In a collection of original essays, the venerated television
journalist, Dan Rather, celebrates our shared values and what
matters most in our great country, and shows us what patriotism
looks like. Writing about the institutions that sustain us, such as
public libraries, public schools, and national parks; the values
that have transformed us, such as the struggle for civil rights;
and the drive toward science and innovation that has made the
United States great, Rather will bring to bear his decades of
experience on the frontlines of the world's biggest stories, and
offer readers a way forward. After a career spent as reporter and
anchor for CBS News, where he interviewed every living President
since Eisenhower and was on the ground for every major event, from
the assassination of John F. Kennedy to Watergate to 9/11, Rather
has also become a hugely popular voice of reason on social media,
with nearly two million Facebook followers and an engaged new
audience who help to make many of his posts go viral. With his
famously plainspoken voice and a fundamental sense of hope, Rather
has written the book to inspire conversation and listening, and to
remind us all how we are ultimately united.
