The Time of Our Lives: A conversation about America, by Tom Brokaw
WW does not ordinarily recommend books, because WW’s editor does not read that many whole books. However, I did read Tom Brokaw’s latest book and it is worth your attention. I would not try to do it justice by describing it in my own words, but I think its essence is well described in the opening paragraph of the preface.“What happened to the America I thought I knew? Have we simply wandered off course, but only temporarily? Or have we allowed ourselves to be so divided that we’re easy prey for hijackers who could steer us onto a path to a crash landing?”
