America faces a crossroads. Dr. Ben Carson examines what the nation is becoming and what it could be if Americans reclaim the vision that built greatness. Carson draws from his journey from inner city poverty to international medical recognition. He identifies what remains good about America and where the country has lost its way. The book explores fundamental beliefs that guided America from its founding to global leadership. Carson addresses the nation's origins, Judeo-Christian heritage, educational system, capitalism versus socialism, moral foundations, and healthcare. He calls Americans to use their talents to improve their lives, communities, nation, and world. Carson writes as someone who has witnessed both America's successes and failures directly. The book serves as a manifesto of values that shaped America's past and must guide its future.
