Description
A companion to a groundbreaking PBS series, The American Future, Simon Schama's acclaimed book reveals American citizenship in the act of its own remaking.
In the aftermath of 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina, America grappled with an un-American sense of its own limits. To reinvigorate its self-belief, the United States sought a leader to relight the torch of national purpose. But in addition to a president like Barack Obama, Americans are also looking for a replenished sense of their place in the world.
