About this title

Review

Enormously important.--Theodore C. Sorensen, Former Special Counsel to President John F. Kennedy

How do you get to the American people? They are aware of what is happening to some extent. It's the solutions that they need and we have failed. Patriotism, Democracy and Common Sense can begin to reverse that. It offers a cogent and comprehensive policy prescription that people can understand.--Ian Williams, Guardian and The Nation

This is one of the clearest, most important books of our time written by some of the most insightful and provocative experts. It is a truth-telling book that makes the connections from individual failures to the comprehensive indictment of what is wrong with America. This one book says it all with some of the most honest voices of our time.--Celinda Lake, pollster and political strategist, Lake Snell Perry Mermin and Associates

This volume can only help restore America's promise at home and abroad.--Kevin Phillips, former strategist in the Nixon White House, author of Wealth and Democracy

[Takes] a hard look at the United States and suggests practical alternatives to present policies.--The Review of Higher Education
