Sommario/riassunto |
|
As he reflects on terrorism, patriotism, geopolitics, sacrifice, propaganda, and more, Beidler revisits his generation's "inherited vision of national purpose" and he asks what happened. These essays are a sobering wake-up call for even the most informed and conscientious citizen. |
