\nAbo
ut the Book
At a moment of crisis over our national identity\, venera
ted journalist Dan Rather has emerged as a voice of reason and integrity\,
reflecting on&mdash\;and writing passionately about&mdash\;what it means
to be an American. Now\, with this collection of original essays\, he remi
nds us of the principles upon which the United States was founded. Looking
at the freedoms that define us\, from the vote to the press\; the values
that have transformed us\, from empathy to inclusion to service\; the inst
itutions that sustain us\, such as public education\; and the traits that
helped form our young country\, such as the audacity to take on daunting c
hallenges in science and medicine\, Rather brings to bear his decades of e
xperience on the frontlines of the world&rsquo\;s biggest stories. As a li
ving witness to historical change\, he offers up an intimate view of histo
ry\, tracing where we have been in order to help us chart a way forward an
d heal our bitter divisions.
With a fundamental sense of hope\,&nb sp\;What Unites Us \;is the book to inspire conversation and listening \, and to remind us all how we are\, finally\, one.
