Review # 1 was written on 2008-12-04 00:00:00 Treyvon Davis America at Risk gathers original essays by a distinguished and bipartisan group of writers and intellectuals to address a question that matters to Americans of every political persuasion: what are some of the greatest dangers facing America today? The answers, which range from dwindling political participation to rising poverty, and religion to empire, add up to a valuable and timely portrait of a particular moment in the history of American ideas. While the opinions are many, there is a central theme in the book: the corrosion of the liberal constitutional order that has long guided the country at home and abroad. The authors write about the demonstrably important dangers the United States faces while also breaking the usual academic boundaries: there are chapters on the family, religious polarization, immigration, and the economy, as well as on governmental and partisan issues. America at Risk is required reading for all Americans alarmed about the future of their country. |
Review # 2 was written on 2011-03-16 00:00:00 Paul Contoyannis This book presents a series of essays by experts in their respective fields. The book's introduction claims that the essays were selected due to their non-partisan nature, but a better claim would be that the book presents some non-partisan views of the problems facing the United States alongside some thinly-veiled partisan perspectives. That being said, this book is an excellent collection of essays detailing the numerous problems facing the U.S. I felt that I learned a lot about subjects that were both new and old to me. Since it was compiled in 2009, it is fair to say that the essays are relevant to some of the current problems facing the country and well as some skeletons that we've yet to address. I enjoyed this book for what it was, a diverse collection of the problems facing the U.S. by (occasionally unbiased) experts in their respective fields. |
