“I’m the one person in the history of Virginia elected to statewide office with a Union credit card, two Purple Hearts, and three body art."
Jim Webb—the bestselling publisher and today the celebrated, outspoken U.S. Senator from Virginia—presents a clear-eyed, hard-hitting plan of attack for putting government to benefit the people, rather than special passions, and for restoring the country's position throughout the world.
Infused with the cleverness, make, and firebrand style that has gained Senator Jim Webb tremendous national attention from his earlest days and nights in office, A A chance to Battle offers a thorough and provocative evaluation of the thorniest issues People in the usa face today, along with cogent alternatives drawn from Webb's lifetime of experience as a much-decorated Sea, a widely traveled, award-winning journalist and novelist, a highly placed member of the Reagan administration, a Senator with a kid who fought as a Sea in Iraq and, perhaps most significant, a happy scion of America's great but frequently disregarded working school.
Webb exposes how America has joined a dangerous, unprecedented pattern of seemingly unsolvable unknowns. Our financial policies, particularly in this age group of globalization, have produced generally divergent results resulting in a country calcifying along school lines. Our demographic make-up has been altered dramatically and is set to keep on changing, through both legal and against the law immigration. Our editorialists and politicians talk about the American wish, and some need us to bring democracy to the rest of the world. But more than two million People in the usa are actually in prison, probably the best incarceration rate in the so-called advanced world. Our international policy is lost, without clear route; increasingly vulnerable to such typically unexamined long-term dangers as China's emerging power although it is becoming bogged down in the never-ending problems of the Middle East. As this drift toward societal regression has occurred, America's management has typically been paralyzed, unable or unwilling to avoid the slide. "Where are the leaders?" Webb asks. "Has our political process become so compromised by powerful interest communities and the threat of figure assassination that even the best in our midst won't dare to speak seriously about the alternatives that might bring us back again to good sense and important fairness?"
Through stunning personal narratives of the problems customers of his family faced, and citing the courageous activities of presidents which range from Andrew Jackson to Teddy Roosevelt to Dwight Eisenhower, A A chance to Battle provides specific, practical ideas for restoring fairness to our economic system, correcting the route of national security efforts, ending America's military job of Iraq, and growing greater government accountability. Webb brings a fresh perspective to political dynamics which have shaped our country. His stirring, populist manifesto phone calls upon voters to help make the choices that will change America for the better in this election season.
