Publisher's Summary

In a collection of original essays, the venerated television journalist, Dan Rather, celebrates our shared values and what matters most in our great country, and shows us what patriotism looks like. Writing about the institutions that sustain us, such as public libraries, public schools, and national parks; the values that have transformed us, such as the struggle for civil rights; and the drive toward science and innovation that has made the United States great, Rather brings to bear his decades of experience on the frontlines of the world's biggest stories, and offers listeners a way forward.

After a career spent as reporter and anchor for CBS News, where he interviewed every living president since Eisenhower and was on the ground for every major event, from the assassination of John F. Kennedy to Watergate to 9/11, Rather has also become a hugely popular voice of reason on social media, with nearly two million Facebook followers and an engaged new audience who help to make many of his posts go viral. With his famously plainspoken voice and a fundamental sense of hope, Rather has written the book to inspire conversation and listening, and to remind us all how we are ultimately united.

"Steady"

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I feel as though my patriotism has been reset. Mr. Rather 's outlook on our world is exceptional and sadly it shouldn't be exceptional, it should be the norm

Powerful and Necessary Read

This is one of the most powerfully timely and encouraging books I’ve read in years. Dan Rather describes eloquently and helps clarify my vision of America, what it was, is and can be again. I recommend this book as a “must read” for everyone.
