DAN RATHER, What Unites Us

IN CONVERSATION WITH GREG BLUESTEIN, REPORTER, ATLANTA JOURNAL CONSTITUTION

SPONSORED BY WELLS FARGO

After a storied career spent as reporter and anchor for CBS News, where he interviewed every living President since Eisenhower and was on the ground for every major event, from the assassination of John F. Kennedy to Watergate to 9/11, Dan Rather has, in the last year, also become a hugely popular voice of reason on social media, with more than two million Facebook followers and an engaged new audience who help to make many of his posts go viral. At a moment of crisis over our national identity, Rather has been reflecting—and writing passionately—about the world we live in, what our core ideals have been and should be, and what it means to be an American.

Now, in a collection of wholly original essays, the venerated television journalist celebrates our shared values and what matters most in our great country, and shows us what patriotism looks like. Writing about the institutions that sustain us, such as public libraries, public schools, and national parks; the values that have transformed us, such as the struggle for civil rights; and the drive toward science and innovation that has made the United States great, Rather will bring to bear his decades of experience on the frontlines of the world's biggest stories, and offer readers a way forward.

With his famously plainspoken voice and a fundamental sense of hope, Rather has written the book to inspire conversation and listening, and to remind us all how we are ultimately united. This book will be a must-read for everyone you know who is engaged in the urgent national conversation right now—and interested in our place in history going forward.
