The four-decade senator identifies a crossroads in America
while contending that the country has stepped away from its basic
ideals, in a call for national reform that proposes changes to
national security, health care, education, civil rights, energy,
and the environment. With a Senate career that has spanned more
than four decades, Edward M. Kennedy has become one of the
strongest voices in American politics. In this, his first major
policy book in more than twenty years, he argues that America is at
a crossroads, having departed more deeply from its fundamental
ideals than at any time in its modern history. In response to this
erosion of basic values, he presents a sweeping agenda for reform
and renewal, speaking to the country's most significant needs at
home and abroad. National security, the war in Iraq, terrorism, and
key domestic challenges such as jobs, health care, education, civil
rights, energy, and the environment all receive major attention in
his proposals to counter the harmful policies of the current
administration, restore America's respect in the world, and create
a better America here at home where democracy, individual
opportunity, equal justice, and innovation can flourish. --From
