Inviting us to foster a rebirth of family, community, and civic engagement as profound as the one that helped win World War II, built our postwar prosperity, and ushered in the Civil Rights era, Brokaw traces the exciting, unnerving changes in modern life—in values, education, public service, housing, the Internet, and more—that have transformed our society in the decades since the age of thrift in which he was raised. In offering ideas from Americans who are change agents in their communities, Brokaw gives us a nourishing vision of hopefulness in an age of diminished expectations.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eNEW YORK TIMES\u003c\/i\u003e BESTSELLER\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Inspiring tales of how people from different walks of life have found ways to be of service to their communities and country.”—Walter Isaacson","brand":"Random House Trade Paperbacks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43383109681407,"sku":"9780812975123","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780812975123_s600x595.jpg?v=1775586951","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780812975123","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
