Will the myriad of crises sink the American people deeper into alienation, or propel citizens to engage their government and shape our future?

Come Home, America: The Rise and Fall (and Redeeming Promise) of Our Country, is William Greider's fireside chat with the American people, preparing us for difficult times ahead, pointing us to a brighter future. Kirkus Reviews proclaims, "Greider's moment, though, may have arrived. Given the current, gloomy circumstances ... it's more difficult than ever to argue with his analysis, and he's surely correct that 'in crisis lies opportunity.'"

As we may be at the precipice of a new populist era, "historians may point to" Greider's latest "as one of the prairie fire's first sparks" Kirkus concludes.
