Review:
James A. Michener, the writer of epic, meticulously researched novels, including Centennial, Alaska, and Hawaii, claims to have lived and worked in 102 foreign countries. Bolstered by this wide experience and his status as a writer, he has decided to put on paper his analysis of the state of his country and its many afflictions. He writes about race relations, health care, education and the decline of the family in the United States, offering cogent and forthright views, and his own rather general solutions.
From the Back Cover:
"A MODERATE AND HUMANE VISION . . . Michener here reflects on what he believes to be the major problems the U.S. faces and offers suggestions on how to solve them."
