About this product
Product Information
Who we are, where we've been, and where we need to go now, to recapture the American dream Now with a new Foreword by the author "The best presentation of the challenges facing the country--and the possible solutions--I've ever seen."--P. J. O'Rourke 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. 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 share 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 helped win World War II, built our postwar prosperity, and ushered in the Civil Rights era, Brokaw traces the exciting, unnerving 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. In offering ideas from Americans who are change agents in their communities, Brokaw gives us a nourishing vision of hopefulness in an age of diminished expectations. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Inspiring tales of how people from different walks of life have found ways to be of service to their communities and country."--Walter Isaacson

"The best presentation of the challenges facing the country--and the possible solutions--I've ever seen."--P. J. O'Rourke "Inspiring tales of how people from different walks of life have found ways to be of service to their communities and country."--Walter Isaacson "The public is open to [Brokaw's] call for expanding national service, and his advocacy could make a difference in public opinion and the legislative struggles to come." --Washington Monthly "A hopeful volume, providing insightful analysis as well as a call to action." --BookPage "A valuable contribution to the national discourse and may just inspire some readers to go out and make a difference."--Associated Press, "The best presentation of the challenges facing the country--and the possible solutions--I've ever seen."--P. J. O'Rourke "Inspiring tales of how people from different walks of life have found ways to be of service to their communities and country."--Walter Isaacson "The public is open to [Brokaw's] call for expanding national service, and his advocacy could make a difference in public opinion and the legislative struggles to come." --Washington Monthly "A hopeful volume, providing insightful analysis as well as a call to action." --BookPage "A valuable contribution to the national discourse and may just inspire some readers to go out and make a difference."--Associated Press, Praise for The Time of Our Lives "With commonsense values, [Brokaw] appeals to Americans to recommit to family and community, increase civic engagement, and make sacrifices in an effort to ensure some security for generations to come. An engaging recollection of the achievements of the past, the realities of the present, and the promise of the future."-- Booklist "[Brokaw] jumps into triage mode with this tenderhearted, nostalgic journalistic roundup, just in time for the upcoming presidential election ... Brokaw is especially good at working the human-interest angle ... An ever-upbeat message from the well-connected yet modest veteran journalist."-- Kirkus Reviews Praise for Boom! "[Brokaw] approaches this magnum opus with warmth, curiosity and conviction, the same attributes that worked so well for his Greatest Generation ."- The New York Times "Brokaw does an excellent job of capturing an exciting, controversial period in American history and Boom! is a worthy addition to his growing canon."- New York Post Praise for The Greatest Generation "Offers welcome inspiration . . . It is impossible to read even a few of these accounts and not be touched by the book's overarching message: We who followed this generation have lived in the midst of greatness."- The Washington Times From the Hardcover edition., "The best presentation of the challenges facing the country-and the possible solutions-I've ever seen."-P. J. O'Rourke "Inspiring tales of how people from different walks of life have found ways to be of service to their communities and country."-Walter Isaacson "The public is open to [Brokaw's] call for expanding national service, and his advocacy could make a difference in public opinion and the legislative struggles to come." -Washington Monthly "A hopeful volume, providing insightful analysis as well as a call to action." -BookPage "A valuable contribution to the national discourse and may just inspire some readers to go out and make a difference."-Associated Press

Fast shipping but in the post says “NEW never Opened.” But it came without the manual, the disc loose since is broken in the center. At least the disc is clean.
