This book was born out of the deep frustration the author felt while watching the 2011 Debt Ceiling debacle play out on TV. As it took shape, the President's approval rating fell to a low 36% and the Congressional approval rating plummeted to a miserable 14%. Needless to say, the mood of the nation was, and continues to be, one of general disgust for our elected representatives and a strong desire for change. The author, Eric J. Kiser, had finally had enough. Gathering a diverse group of friends around him, he formed the political action committee (PAC) "The League of Non-Aligned Voters". This political manifesto is his attempt to tell it like it is. The message: The American public seems to have forgotten how this country should work. Voters today are unhappy with the state of our union but still believe the answers to all our problems will be found with a politician already "working" in government. And, besides all evidence to the contrary, the voting public actually believes this career politician will be able to bring about the necessary improvements and reforms. The American people obviously have no idea how to go about achieving real change. If we did, we would not place our trust in a single candidate or one political party that claims to have all the answers. Meanwhile, these political parties have managed to herd a majority of Americans into two tidy little groups -- Liberal or Conservative. Red People or Blue People. Left or Right.-- Here they try to convince us that the fault for all our problems falls squarely in the lap of the opposition. Do we really believe that one party has all the answers or, that the other party is the cause of every problem on earth? I don't think so. Could it be that each side has some ideas or platforms that are good for America and some that are bad? This seems a little more accurate. But, the most likely scenario today is that both parties' share much of the blame for the problems in our current political system and both have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo. This book has one simple goal in mind: To get more Americans thinking about how to regain control over the government again. This book suggests ways on how to do that by removing emotion from the equation and replacing it with logic, common sense and as much humor as we can muster. If we can just put away our partisanship long enough to remember a few basic concepts, then perhaps we can all come to a greater understanding of, and commitment to, the work that needs to be done, and why we better get to it before its too late. Remember; It was never supposed to be about moving the public to the "Left or Right". It's supposed to be about all of us moving "FORWARD!"

A sobering account of a disenfranchised American working class and important policy solutions to the nation's economic inequalities One of the country's leading scholars on economics and social policy, Isabel Sawhill addresses the enormous divisions in American society--economic, cultural, and political--and what might be done to bridge them. Widening inequality and the loss of jobs to trade and technology has left a significant portion of the American workforce disenfranchised and skeptical of governments and corporations alike. And yet both have a role to play in improving the country for all. Sawhill argues for a policy agenda based on mainstream values, such as family, education, and work. Although many have lost faith in government programs designed to help them, there are still trusted institutions on both the local and the federal level that can deliver better job opportunities and higher wages to those who have been left behind. At the same time, the private sector needs to reexamine how it trains and rewards employees. This book provides a clear-headed and middle-way path to a better-functioning society in which personal responsibility is honored and inclusive capitalism and more broadly shared growth are once more the norm.

The "stirring," definitive history of America's decisive role in winning World War I (Wall Street Journal). The American contribution to World War I is one of the great stories of the twentieth century, and yet it has all but vanished from view. Historians have dismissed the American war effort as largely economic and symbolic. But as Geoffrey Wawro shows in Sons of Freedom, the French and British were on the verge of collapse in 1918, and would have lost the war without the Doughboys. Field Marshal Douglas Haig, commander of the British Expeditionary Force, described the Allied victory as a "miracle" -- but it was a distinctly American miracle. In Sons of Freedom, prize-winning historian Geoffrey Wawro weaves together in thrilling detail the battles, strategic deliberations, and dreadful human cost of the American war effort. A major revision of the history of World War I, Sons of Freedom resurrects the brave heroes who saved the Allies, defeated Germany, and established the United States as the greatest of the great powers.

After months of hiding in the attic of the Mannerheim’s Berlin flat, the Caslav family knew the time had come for them to risk the dangers of escape. Deciding to split up in the hope that two smaller groups will attract less attention, Luke and Mary Caslav make the decision to entrust their eldest daughter, Ruth, to the safe keeping of Luke’s brother and his wife, whilst keeping their two younger children with them. Their decision leads to Ruth’s escape to a new life in England, while her parents and siblings suffer life in concentration camps. Now a woman of 27, Ruth lives in Hampstead. The untimely death of her boss on the eve of an important business meeting thrusts her into the position of temporary Head of Department. Sent to handle the meeting alone, she meets the impressive figure of Friedrich Mannerheim - the dynamic young German businessman whose company has made its first acquisition in the U.K. Ruth and Friedrich find themselves falling in love, but it is a love that causes family division; a love that uncovers the past.

Nathanael Greene was the strategist of the American Revolution. His role in the War for Independence was second only to General George Washington. Born and reared a Quaker, with no military experience, he was promoted from private to brigadier general over night. Greene quickly became Washington's confidant and close friend. He was chosen by the Commander to lead the Continental Army should Washington be killed, injured, or taken captive. Nathanael's vivacious wife Caty, a favorite of the Washingtons, added brightness to the dark, dreary existence of camp life. She proved to be a source of joy and comfort to her husband throughout the war--as well as a heartache and challenge. It was General Nathanael Greene who pulled the Continental Army from the throes of death at Valley Forge. It was General Greene who petitioned Congress for a Declaration of Independence. It was Nathanael Greene who was given the desperate task of commanding the Southern Department of the Continental Army after other commanders had failed. It was Greene who drove British General Cornwallis to surrender at Yorktown. Unable to participate or witness the victorious battle, he was forced to immediately return South with his troops, and subdue the remaining British forces. Greene led his troops in battle and laid siege for a year after the victory at Yorktown. His persistence finally forced the British to evacuate the South. George Washington and Nathanael Greene were the only general officers who served in that position throughout the war. Greene led his men in more battles than any other general officer, including Washington. Moreover, it was Greene who was constantly harassed by Congress, and ultimately forsaken by them. Three years after the official end of the war, Nathanael Greene was dead. His premature death was not only a result of the intense hardships of war, but the hardships and cruelty inflicted on him by the United States Congress. Janet Uhlar was born in Quincy, Massachusetts--the hometown of John Adams, John Quincy Adams, John Hancock, and Josiah Quincy, Jr. Through her works of biographical-fiction, she hopes to present the extraordinary stories of forgotten heroes of the American Revolution. Janet firmly believes that when the private lives and unique personalities of historical figures are presented, and the dynamics between these characters brought out, history becomes much more than cold black print on a stark white page. History takes on a life of its own, with true flesh and blood individuals whose acts of courage, indifference, or cowardice shaped the world we live in today. This living history helps us relate to those who have gone before--offering inspiration, courage, and a sense of determination. Janet is also the author of Liberty's Martyr: The Story of Dr. Joseph Warren. She lives on Cape Cod in Massachusetts.
