- Summary
- "Bob Schieffer's America brings together 171 of his very best essays, pieces that cover a broad range: from the hard issues of today to the human stories that show us who we are; from politics and presidents and tragedy to the things that touch us, make us laugh, or record the small shifts in our culture that just creep up on us. Smart, humorous, commonsensical, pitch-perfect - sometimes bitingly critical and plainspoken; other times suffused with wonder or delight - these essays speak to us all."--BOOK JACKET.
