The host of the NBC Today Show’s popular segment
shares his favorite stories of citizens making a difference
around the country
For the six million people
who watch the Emmy Award–winning “American Story with Bob
Dotson” on NBC’s Today Show, Bob Dotson’s reports
celebrate the inspirational stories of everyday Americans.
Dotson has been crisscrossing the country for more than
forty years—logging more than four million miles—in search
of people who have quietly but profoundly changed our lives
and our country for the better. Now, in American
Story, he presents a road map to the unsung heroes with
thoughtful solutions to problems we all face, incredible
ideas that work, and blueprints to living our
dreams.
*The boss who came out of retirement
to start a new company for his former employees who could
not find work
*The truck driver who taught
microsurgery
*The man you’ve never heard of who
has 465 profitable patents, second only to Thomas Edison
*The doctor who developed the vaccine to prevent
whooping cough, who didn’t retire until age 104
In
the tradition of Tom Brokaw’s New York Times
bestseller The Time of Our Lives, American
Story is a deeply moving and endlessly fascinating
alternative narrative for everyone who yearns to feel good
about America.
