Description
There
is a huge concern in America today that the country is in decline, one
of the few sentiments that – nationally – our increasingly polarized
political leaders can agree on. Americans fear that the economy and our
culture itself are in deep crisis. They are also frustrated that the
ruling classes are unable to fix America’s problems. Kim R. Holmes’ Rebound
taps into these concerns, taking a fresh look at how America has moved
away from the principles and practices that once made it the world’s
greatest nation. Far from accepting America’s inevitable decline, as so
many today do, Holmes argues that decline is a choice, not an
inevitability or destiny. To restore our culture, revitalize our
economy, and ensure we return to being the world’s number one power,
America must reconnect with its historical DNA: the ingredients of its
greatness. This book lays out the vision and roadmap for how America can
bounce back, with examples from throughout our nation’s history that
prove we’ve always been able to meet the challenges facing us, no matter
how largely they may loom.
Kim R. Holmes,
a Distinguished Fellow at The Heritage Foundation, oversaw the think
tank’s defense and foreign policy team for more than two decades. He is
one of Washington’s foremost foreign and defense policy experts, and
served as assistant secretary of state under George W. Bush.

Kim
R. Holmes makes a compelling case that what has long been best in the
American spirit still burns bright today. Contrary to the pessimists,
Holmes argues that America's greatest days remain ahead - if we build on
the values and freedoms that have made us great.
— Arthur C. Brooks, President, American Enterprise Institute (AEI)
Courageously
'politically incorrect,' Holmes shows how and why a cultural decline
has harmed our country and how 'we the people' can restore America to
greatness. Holmes diagnosis and prescriptions couldn't be more timely.
— Steve Forbes, President and CEO, Forbes Inc.
Kim
Holmes has performed a masterful job of showing what made America
great, what went wrong, and how we can get back on the right track to
ordered liberty. The key is understanding the connections between
morality and freedom, civil society and limited government, culture and
the Constitution, American ideals and institutions.
— Robert P. George, Visiting Professor, Harvard Law School; McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence, Princeton University
In
his superbly written history of American greatness, Kim Holmes reminds
us that with all our flaws and weaknesses, the United States remains a
nation of strength, decency, and honor - because brave men and women
have willed it so. This book engages the mind and inspires the soul.
— Paul
McHale, President, Civil Support International LLC; former Assistant
Secretary of Defense; Retired Colonel, U.S. Marine Corps
Our
character, values, and founding principles once made America the envy
of the world. As Kim Holmes brilliantly argues, that can be the winning
formula again.
