Summary:

"The impossible dream of the United States of America began with a declaration. Years before the Revolution was won, long before the Constitution was created, we were a nation because of our decision to be free. Though the universal hunger for freedom endures, these days our country often seems at cross purposes. Our very history is divisive. On one side, there are the unrelenting complaints about all the things we're getting wrong. Such critics seem intent on focusing on the darker chapters of our story. On the other side is a sanitized version of history that leaves little room for self-reflection. It's as if any admission of frailty or failure is an unpatriotic act. In, 'The Case for America', Bret Baier argues that neither of these pictures reflects our reality. To make the case for the nation's enduring value, he underscores our fundamental character: unity, freedom, resilience. Baier shares his own reflections alongside those of numerous historians, commentators, and business leaders in a moving ode to a nation."--Amazon.com.

"Fox News Channel's chief political anchor and #1 bestselling author Bret Baier makes the case for America--an inspiring defense of our history, values, and national character. Can the founders' ideals still inspire and united the nation 250 years after the Declaration of Independence?"--from front flyleaf.
