Description
Book SynopsisThis is an essential book for serious readers of American cultural history seeking to understand the evolution of modern 'manners' and 'morals'.
Trade ReviewIt is high time that we had any book of this nature from Herbert London. His outstanding record as an academic, as an aspirant public official, and now as head of his enormously influential foundation betokened the need to hear him explicate his ideas, which he has done here so successfully and eloquently. -- William F. Buckley Jr., National Review
Herb London's explication of the damage done to American culture through the 1990s is provocative, as it well should be. How are we to regenerate our spiritually broken culture other than by returning to the characteristics that made our nation great - optimism, merit, and virtue? We owe it to our children and their children's children to reflect on the damage done and where we need to be going both as a nation and as a culture. -- General Alexander M. Haig, Jr. (USA Ret.), Former Secretary of State, NATO Commander, and White House Chief of Staff
