Senator Chuck Hagel has long been admired by his colleagues
on both sides of the Senate floor for his honesty,
integrity, and common-sense approach to the challenges of
our times. The Los Angeles Times has praised his "bold
positions on foreign policy and national security" and
wondered, "What's not to like?" In America: Our Next
Chapter, Nebraska-born Hagel offers a hard-hitting
examination of the current state of our nation and provides
substantial, meaningful proposals that can guide America
back onto the right path. In America: Our Next Chapter, Hagel speaks the truth as he
sees it—in a direct and refreshingly unvarnished manner.
Basing his suggestions on thorough research and careful
thought, as well as on personal insight from his years as a
political insider, successful businessman, and decorated war
hero, he discusses domestic issues—including the health care
crisis, immigration, and Social Security and Medicare
reform—and global climate change. He confronts foreign
policy problems that the current administration has bungled
or ignored, including China's growing economy; control of
U.S. debt; India's and Pakistan's nuclear capabilities; and
Iran's aggressive political, ideological, and nuclear
stances. He decries the pervasive disease of third world
poverty, arguing convincingly that this is where the real
fight against terrorism must begin. Always true to the
beliefs instilled in his childhood on the prairie, he speaks
passionately about service—to one's country and to one's
fellow citizens—as the path toward a renewed America. And,
of course, he gives a candid examination of the debacle that
is the Iraq War. A staunch Republican yet a "hero to liberals" (Time), Hagel
asks the tough questions and delivers straight answers to
America's most pressing problems. America: Our Next Chapter
is a serious, honest, and, ultimately, optimistic look at
our nation's future, from an American original
