About

Like so many of us, Bill McKibben grew up believing—knowing—that the United States was the greatest country on earth. But fifty years later, he finds himself in an increasingly doubtful nation strained by racial and economic inequality, on a planet whose future is in peril.

In this revelatory cri de coeur, McKibben—award-winning author, activist, educator—digs deep into our history (and his own well-intentioned if misguided past) to explore how we got to this point. And he wonders if any of the trinity of his youth—the flag, the cross, and the station wagon—could, or should, be reclaimed in the fight for a fairer future.
