In Search Of America
by Peter Jennings and Tom Brewster

Following up the acclaimed series on ABC, Peter Jennings and Tom Brewster take a trip across contemporary America and examine how far we've come as a nation from the idea that our founding fathers first envisaged.

From federal to states rights in Washington, DC to creationism vs. evolution in South Carolina, The duo travel from coast to coast and examine six separate case studies of modern problems, examining its historical context and how it relates to society both now and when the country was first born.

The book also examines life in the America post 9/11 and is showered with photos and essays to create a thought provoking and truly unique look at a country that has impacted the world more than any other before it.
