AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “I find myself thinking deeply about what it means to love America, as I surely do.” —Dan Rather “A tonic for our times . . . Rather's writing shows why he has won the admiration of a new generation. In these essays, he gives voice to the marginalized and rips off the journalistic shield of objectivity to ring the alarm bell when he witnesses actions he fears undermine the principles of American democracy. That, undoubtedly, is patriotic. And it takes courage.” —USA Today At a moment of crisis over our national identity, venerated journalist Dan Rather has emerged as a voice of reason and integrity, reflecting on—and writing passionately about—what it means to be an American. Now, with this collection of original essays, he reminds us of the principles upon which the United States was founded. Looking at the freedoms that define us, from the vote to the press; the values that have transformed us, from empathy to inclusion to service; the institutions that sustain us, such as public education; and the traits that helped form our young country, such as the audacity to take on daunting challenges in science and medicine, Rather brings to bear his decades of experience on the frontlines of the world’s biggest stories. As a living witness to historical change, he offers up an intimate view of history, tracing where we have been in order to help us chart a way forward and heal our bitter divisions. With a fundamental sense of hope, What Unites Us is the book to inspire conversation and listening, and to remind us all how we are, finally, one.

Perfect for fans of Jane the Virgin’s celebration of Latinidad and Fresh Off the Boat’s situational humor, Definitely Hispanic is a collection of introspective and witty essays by social media influencer and viral phenomenon LeJuan James about growing up Hispanic in the US. Social media influencer and viral phenomenon LeJuan James loves being Hispanic. But growing up in the United States to immigrant parents, he quickly noticed that their house rules and traditions didn’t always match up with his friends’. Years later, the result was a lifetime of laugh-out-loud, relatable moments that he reenacted on camera and shared with the world online. Now, LeJuan is taking a closer look at everything he loves about his family, culture, and community. Definitely Hispanic is a collection of heartfelt memoiristic essays that explores the themes LeJuan touches upon in his videos, and celebrates the values and traditions being kept alive by Hispanic parents raising US–born children. He shares anecdotes about discovering the differences between his and his friends’ households, demystifies “La Pela” (the Spanking), explains the vital role women play in Hispanic families, and pays reverence to universal cultural truths like “food is love” and “music is in Hispanics’ DNA.” From the chapter “#Home”—in which LeJuan talks about how his family moved back and forth between the United States and Puerto Rico until settling in Orlando, Florida—to “#TheHouse”—in which he was finally able to buy his parents the home they deserve thanks to his online success—this wide-ranging collection celebrates being Latino and offers a humorous yet warm-hearted look at the lives of second-generation immigrants in the US. LeJuan’s hilarious online persona comes to life on every page.

The Oxford History of the United States is by far the most respected multi-volume history of our nation. In this Pulitzer prize-winning, critically acclaimed addition to the series, historian Daniel Walker Howe illuminates the period from the battle of New Orleans to the end of the Mexican-American War, an era when the United States expanded to the Pacific and won control over the richest part of the North American continent. A panoramic narrative, What Hath God Wrought portrays revolutionary improvements in transportation and communications that accelerated the extension of the American empire. Railroads, canals, newspapers, and the telegraph dramatically lowered travel times and spurred the spread of information. These innovations prompted the emergence of mass political parties and stimulated America's economic development from an overwhelmingly rural country to a diversified economy in which commerce and industry took their place alongside agriculture. In his story, the author weaves together political and military events with social, economic, and cultural history. Howe examines the rise of Andrew Jackson and his Democratic party, but contends that John Quincy Adams and other Whigs--advocates of public education and economic integration, defenders of the rights of Indians, women, and African-Americans--were the true prophets of America's future. In addition, Howe reveals the power of religion to shape many aspects of American life during this period, including slavery and antislavery, women's rights and other reform movements, politics, education, and literature. Howe's story of American expansion culminates in the bitterly controversial but brilliantly executed war waged against Mexico to gain California and Texas for the United States. Winner of the New-York Historical Society American History Book Prize Finalist, 2007 National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction The Oxford History of the United States The Oxford History of the United States is the most respected multi-volume history of our nation. The series includes three Pulitzer Prize winners, a New York Times bestseller, and winners of the Bancroft and Parkman Prizes. The Atlantic Monthly has praised it as "the most distinguished series in American historical scholarship," a series that "synthesizes a generation's worth of historical inquiry and knowledge into one literally state-of-the-art book." Conceived under the general editorship of C. Vann Woodward and Richard Hofstadter, and now under the editorship of David M. Kennedy, this renowned series blends social, political, economic, cultural, diplomatic, and military history into coherent and vividly written narrative.

What Unites Us: Reflections on Patriotism by Dan Rather - Book Summary - Abbey Beathan (Disclaimer: This is NOT the original book.) What's the true face of patriotism? Dan Rather explains all of our shared values and the things that unite us. Patriotism is built through a continuous exposure to the nation you belong. You are nurtured by your country due to their public libraries, national parks and schools. And slowly but surely, every member of the nation starts to have details that unite each one of them. Dan's book is about that, the qualities we all share and keep us united. (Note: This summary is wholly written and published by Abbey Beathan. It is not affiliated with the original author in any way) "We are a nation not only of dreams, but also of fixers. We have looked at our land and people, and said, time and time again, 'This is not good enough; we can be better'" - Dan Rather Dan Rather is convinced that it is really important for us to always keep within our hearts the things that unite us. This is something that is common to elude us and not even think about it but pondering about those characteristics that bind us, makes us love our nation even more. A successful reporter and anchor who lived every major event in the USA delivers a vast analysis on patriotism. P.S. What Unite Us is an incredible book made to make us remember where we came from and what we share with the people who are from the same nation. P.P.S.

Firsthand accounts from the attorneys and advocates who brought the historic cases and fought to secure the freedom to marry for same-sex couples. The June 2015 decision in Obergefell v. Hodges was a sweeping victory for the freedom to marry, but it was one step in a long process. Love Unites Us is the history of activists’ passion and persistence in the struggle for marriage rights for same-sex couples in the United States, told in the words of those who waged the battle. Launching the fight for the freedom to marry had neither an obvious nor an uncontested strategy. To many activists, achieving marriage equality seemed far-fetched, but the skeptics were proved wrong in the end. Proactive arguments in favor of love, family, and commitment were more effective than arguments that focused on rights and the goal of equality at work. Telling the stories of people who loved and cared for one another, in sickness and in health, cut through the antigay noise and moved people—not without backlash and not overnight, but faster than most activists and observers had ever imagined. With compelling stories from leading attorneys and activists including Evan Wolfson, Mary L. Bonauto, Jon W. Davidson, and Paul M. Smith, Love Unites Us explains how gay and lesbian couples achieved the right to marry. “An exceptional piece of work by courageous and innovative leaders.” —Eric H. Holder Jr., 82nd US attorney general “Captures the amazing story of the fight for marriage equality—in California and around the country. A remarkable journey recounted with truth and eloquence.” —Gavin Newsom, governor of California

A U.S. Army veteran and rising star in the conservative movement makes the case that the United States should look to the country as it was on September 12th, 2001 for lessons about our future. On the day after the World Trade Center was attacked, Americans came together regardless of race, religion, or sexual orientation. We were united. On that day, nearly every store in the country sold out of American flags. After the events of the last eighteen months, from the Covid-19 pandemic to the constant attempts to divide us by race, Graham Allen believes that we should all look back on the events of 9/12 and remember what unites us. He believes that we do not all have to be the same, that it's okay not to agree on everything, but that we share a common history and a set of values. Just as the year 1776 serves as a reminder of our beginning, 9/12 will serve as a reminder of our present and future.

We could not Find a Picture of a Happy Family to Post on the Front Cover. Persecution probably Unites People more than any other Thing. Poverty might Help. Sicknesses and Diseases sometimes Help, and WARS are probably the Best Remedy for Separations of Naaberz; but, nothing is more Effective for Healing People than Words of Truths. It all Depends on the Audience and Situation at hand. Wars seem to Unite People, as well as Divide them, at the same Time. They are not Recommended: beCause of the Negative Effects, loss of Life, Property, Equipment, Trust, Friendships, and whatever. Therefore, Wars should be Avoided like Poisonous Snakes and Scorpions. Righteous People have no Use for Wars, at all, even if they seem to be Justified: beCause, all such Issues can be Settled, Peacefully, in a Courtroom, if the People are Willing to Do that. Most Trigger-happy Aggressive Bullies are not. They want to Fight First, and Ask Questions Later. They should be put in Boxing Contests, or Wrestling Matches, just to get the Aggressive Spirit within them Removed. Otherwise, they should do some Fasting and Praying: beCause that is the Best Solution for the Unity of the Community.Few Nations have ever been as Divided as the United States of America: beCause of the Divider-in-Chief, who has Played his Divisive Political Games for more than 3.6 Years ― not by any Witty Strategy, nor God-Ordained Plan for Overthrowing "the greatest nation on the earth," as he calls it; but, beCause it is the Nature of a Con Artist, New York Criminal, Mob Boss, Bully, or who knows what? Perhaps he Learned it from his Father? Who would Know for Sure? The Crotch-grabber most likely does not Know his own Heart; but, for Certain, he does not Know the Heart of God, who, according to Deuteronomy 10:12 and Micah 6:8, Commands us to Love Mercy, Do Justice, and to Walk Humbly with All that is GOOD; and there is nothing Good about Stealing, Lying, Cheating, Robbing, Murdering, Divorcing, Abusing Babies, Tormenting Refugees, nor going to War; but, those are the Bitter Fruits of an Evil Nation, which knows not the Wisdom of King Solomon, who would know how to Solve the Problem in his Courtroom, which is the Riit Way to Do it, and in all Cases, if there is Time for it, including a Guaranteed Way to Defeat the Bug-19, by Fasting and Praying, which is less Expensive than Eating and Drinking and going to Medical Doctors, who do not know how to Cure themselves from whatever Ails them. All Wild Animals have only ONE Natural Remedy for whatever Ails them, and that is to Fast and Pray, which has Worked Well for thousands of Years, and is still Working Well for whomever Practices it. Just Try it, and you will See WHY; but, be Sure to Follow "The Proper RULES for FASTING!" (The Complete Instruction Manual for True Repentance!) By The Worldwide People's Revolution!(R) Book 046. (See Amazon Books.) The entire City of Nineveh Fasted and Prayed for 40 Consecutive Days and Nights without Eating nor Drinking, according to the little Book of Jonah, which United all of them, which Jesus called True Repentance in Matthew 12:41. Could Americans do the same Thing? Would Americans do it, if they Understood that the other Option is "The Great ATOMIC NIGHTMARE!" (The Saddest Story in World History!) By The Great White Bald Eagle! Book 099? Probably not. What Americans want is a Magic Pill, which Cures all of their Age-old Dietary Sins; but, it is only a Fantasy. When you Lose your Appetite, that is a Warning Sign to STOP Eating. Obey, and you will be Okay. Disobey, and you will just Naturally Suffer the Consequences. God Help you to Understand it. Good Health is FREE. Only Truths can set us Free. Therefore, be Humble and Seek those Provable Truths, and you will Find them.
