America Our Great But Ailing Nation

About the Book

This work is written from the perspective of a very concerned American. It can be described as a look at where America was, where she is now and where she is headed. In this book, the author considers the courage, values, and citizenship of past generations and applies them as resources to be used to help mend our great but critically ill nation. In the course of this work, numerous problems and challenges confronting America are identified. Throughout the book many common sense solutions are offered. Those solutions should go a long way to righting America’s course if our citizens are willing to acknowledge the serious challenges we face, and are willing to make adjustments, commitments, and the necessary sacrifices to stop the slide into a cultural and moral abyss.
