NOW OR NEVER: Getting Down to the Business of Saving Our American Dream
In this follow up to his bestselling It's Getting Ugly Out There, CNN commentator and veteran journalist Jack Cafferty covers the colossal blunders and hypocrisies the Bush administration has perpetrated on the world. His new book, NOW OR NEVER, explores what Cafferty sees as the colossal mistakes the new Democratic-controlled Congress is making as well as, of course, the run-up to and the results of the 2008 presidential election, among other topics. He will continue passionately to argue for the need for the average American to speak up and make a difference in an increasingly indifferent world.
In NOW OR NEVER: Getting Down to the Business of Saving Our American Dream (Wiley, March 2009; $24.95; Cloth; ISBN: 978-0-470-37230-2), Cafferty applies his heat-seeking scrutiny to the hot-button issues that will top the 2009 agenda, including the economy, Iraq, the war on terror, and our broken immigration, education, and healthcare systems. Will Barack Obama bring the change he promises or will it be business as usual? Will a hitherto spineless Democratic Congress hold individuals accountable for abuses of power? Cafferty gives voice to the fears and hopes of Americans from all around the country; he also gets personal with moving stories of his experiences raising kids with values that seem to be disappearing in our culture. NOW OR NEVER also goes into detail about Cafferty’s infamous rant against China during a report on the Olympic Torch run in the Spring of 2008 and the subsequent demand for an apology by the Chinese government.
Much like he did with his first book, Cafferty also explores issues not directly related to politics and current events. He writes about parenting, having four daughters, divorce, alcoholism and dealing with the sudden death of his wife in 2008. Cafferty’s book is about hope and as he writes at the very end, "that this country that has been so good to him for sixty-six years can do some much-needed healing of its own and find its way back.”
