\n< p>About the author:

Bret Baier \;is the Chief Political Anchor for Fox News Channel and the anchor and executi ve editor of \;Special Report with Bret Baier. He previously served as Chief White House Correspondent for Fox News Channel and as the network&rsquo\;s National Security Correspondent based at the Pentagon. A recipient of the National Press Foundation&rsquo\;s Sol Taishoff Award for Excellence in Broadcast Journalism\, Baier is the author of six \;New York Times \;bestsellers\, including \;To Rescue the Constitution: George Washington and the Fragile American Experiment& nbsp\;and \;Three Days at the Brink: FDR&rsquo\;s Daring Gamble to Win WWII. He lives with his family in Washington\, DC.

In The Case for America\, the impossible dream of the United States of America began with a declaration. Years before the Revol ution was won\, long before the Constitution was created\, we were a natio n because of our decision to be free.

Though the universal hunger for freedom that endures\, these days our country often seems at cross pur poses. Our very history is divisive. On one side\, there are the unrelenti ng complaints about all the things we&rsquo\;re getting wrong. Such critic s seem intent on focusing on the darker chapters of our story. On the othe r side is a sanitized version of history that leaves little room for self- reflection. It&rsquo\;s as if any admission of frailty or failure is an un patriotic act.

In \;The Case for America< /em> \;Bret Baier argues that neither of these pictures reflects our r eality. To make the case for the nation&rsquo\;s enduring value\, he under scores our fundamental character: unity\, freedom\, resilience. Baier shar es his own reflections alongside those of numerous historians\, commentato rs\, and business leaders in a moving ode to a nation.

Bret Bai er will be in conversation with Dr. Peter Koritansky\, Di rector of the Center for Civics\, Society and Culture at Cleveland State U niversity.
