Uniting the States of America by Lyle Greenfield

Lyle Greenfield's "Uniting the States of America—A Self-Care Plan for a Wounded Nation" is a work of nonfiction and opinion. Incorporating the lessons of history and the ideas and wisdom of many, it is intended as both an educational resource and a call-to-action for citizens concerned about the politically and culturally divided state of our Union. A situation that has raised alarm for the very future of our democracy. Far from being "alarmist," however, the book proposes common sense solutions to our problems that require simply the decency and will of our elected leaders, and the active participation of our citizens. In the words of Frank Sesno, Professor at GW and author of 'Ask More: The Power of Questions to Open Doors, Uncover Solutions, and Spark Change,' "With an ear to the ground and an eye on history, Greenfield takes us on a ride through our divisive times. Weaving real-world experience, clear insight, and a wry wit, he has written an original and inspiring guide that will resonate with anyone who cares where our country is going and wants to contribute to its future."
