description: AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER I find myself thinking deeply about what it means to love America as I surely do. Dan Rather At a moment of crisis over our national identity venerated journalist Dan Rather has emerged as a voice of reason and integrity reflecting onand writing passionately aboutwhat it means to be an American. Now with this collection of original essays he reminds 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 institutions that sustain us such as public education; and the traits that helped form our young country such as the audacity to take on daunting challenges in science and medicine Rather brings to bear his decades of experience on the frontlines of the worlds biggest stories. As a living witness to historical change he offers up an intimate view of history tracing where we have been in order to help us chart a way forward and heal our bitter divisions. With a fundamental sense of hope What Unites Us is the book to inspire conversation and listening and to remind us all how we are finally one.
