Tom Brokaw presents The Time of Our Lives: A conversation about America; Who We Are, Where We've Been, and Where We Need to Go Now, to Recapture the American Dream ($26.00). Tom Brokaw, known and beloved for his landmark work in American journalism and for the New York Times bestsellers 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?”
Brokaw writes. “Have we simply wandered off course, but only
temporarily? Or have we allowed ourselves to be so divided that we’re
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, Brokaw weaves together inspiring 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.
