The Way of the World: A Story of Truth and Hope in an Age of Extremism

From Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and bestselling author Ron Suskind comes a startling look at how America lost its way and at the nation's struggle, day by day, to reclaim the moral authority upon which its survival depends. From the White House to Downing Street, from the fault line countries of South Asia to the sands of Guantanamo, Suskind offers an astonishing story that connects world leaders to the forces waging today's shadow wars and to the next generation of global citizens. Tracking down truth and hope within the Beltway and far beyond it, Suskind delivers historic disclosures in an emotionally stirring and strikingly original portrait of the post-9/11 world.

For anyone hoping to exercise truly informed consent and begin the process of restoring the values and hope-along with the moral clarity and earned optimism-at the heart of the American tradition, The Way of the World is a must read.
