THE AMERICAN DREAM Stories from the Heart of Our Nation

Following in the footsteps of Peter Jennings and Tom Brokaw, CBS News Anchor Dan Rather reads his profiles of people from all walks of life hoping to achieve success in America. The book defines how the dream differs among us and reveals that freedom of opportunity is far from dead. Overall, this is an uplifting book, which offers cynics pause to reflect about where we came from and where we’re going as we overcome the problems that plague America. Rather’s narration is natural and understated, similar in tone to his on-air style, and true to his persona. J.L. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine [Published: AUG/ SEP 01]
