VERY FINE. Sealed without any flaws. Mint condition. Personally signed Edward M. Kennedy, who represented Massachusetts in the United States Senate for 47 years. SIGNED FIRST EDITION. NUMBERED EDITION OF 1,750 Easton Press, Norwalk CT. 2006. Edward M. Kennedy "America Back On Track" Signed First Edition. Luxuriously bound with full genuine leather with 22kt gold accents. Hardcover book without dust-jacket as issued. Personally signed by the author on the special title page. Sealed with COA. The four-decade senator identifies a crossroads in America while contending that the country has stepped away from its basic ideals, in a call for national reform that proposes changes to national security, health care, education, civil rights, energy, and the environment. Edward M. Kennedy (1932-2009) represented Massachusetts in the United States Senate for 47 years. In 2004 he began interviews at the Miller Center of the University of Virginia for an oral history project about his life. For his 2009 memoir, "True Compass," he drew from his 50 years of contemporaneous notes from his personal diaries and worked closely on the book with Pulitzer Prize-winner Ron Powers, co-author of "Flags of Our Fathers" and author of "Mark Twain: A Life." SIGNED NUMBERED EDITION OF 1,750. Leather-Bound. ABOUT THE BOOK. America's iconic liberal offers his analysis of how and why the nation has gone astray from its values and principles and how it can recover. Kennedy begins with a short history of the challenges that have faced the nation in the past and the proud achievements that have resulted from bold action. He acknowledges the changing political landscape since 9/11 with increased political polarization and concern about national security. Kennedy identifies seven challenges, devoting a chapter to each with historical references to provide cautionary lessons and solutions for getting back on track. With a Senate career spanning four decades, Kennedy sees the nation's primary challenge as reclaiming our constitutional democracy built in checks and balances between the branches of government. Kennedy criticizes the "unprecedented secrecy" of the Bush administration and the "bullying" of Republicans that prevents greater cooperation between Congress and the executive. In his first major policy book in more than 20 years, Kennedy also identifies other challenges, such as achieving an economy that provides equitably and providing healthcare to all Americans. Whether Kennedy fans or not, readers will appreciate his heartfelt concerns about the nation's direction and the ideals we all share.…
