Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"A good-hearted and hardheaded appeal." --Kirkus Reviews

"From retiree Jack McConnell in South Carolina to Majora Carter in the South Bronx, Americans who brought real change to their communities have maintained a great nation while our institutions failed us. Authentic Patriotism is the story of those people whom you have never heard of, but who are most responsible for the greatness of America." --Howard Dean

"Authentic Patriotism is poignant, powerful, and deeply inspiring. It reminded me of something we all tend to forget in the maelstrom of partisan politics and corporate bureaucracies: A single, ordinary person still can make a difference - and single, ordinary people are doing precisely that every day. This is an absolutely terrific book." --Chris Bohjalian, author of Midwives, The Double Bind, and Secrets of Eden

Reseña del editor:

A provocative analysis of American patriotism honors individuals who the author believes live most in accord with founding-father intents, from a minister who created a multicultural choir to a retiree who created a health-care plan for people without insurance. By the award-winning author of Last Rights. Reprint. 15,000 first printing.
