Responding to the concerns Americans feel for their safety, their value systems, and their children's future, Newt Gingrich calls for a return to mainstream American civilization and the basic principles upon which our country was founded.

Citing the Six Challenges that we must face as a nation, he reveals commonsense solutions to the issues we care about most, such as welfare, balancing the federal budget, shifting power from the bureaucracy to the citizenry, and confirming America's leadership in the Information Age.

With characteristic bluntness, Newt Gingrich describes his political allies and adversaries as he shares personal recollections of his historic first hundred days as Speaker. He also delivers practical approaches to issues as diverse as bilingualism, illegal immigration, multiculturalism, and health care.

For months, worldwide media attention has swirled around Speaker Gingrich as he has reawakened American political debate. To Renew America is, finally, the opportunity to encounter the man himself and his dramatic vision of our nation's future.

Work Description

Many people in government and the media tried to stop the publication of this book so that you could not read it. But now you can. On November 9, 1994, for the first time in forty years, the Republican Party attained a majority in the House of Representatives. Newt Gingrich, a former history professor from Georgia, became the Speaker. Newt Gingrich is an optimist. During the 1994 campaign, he and his Republican colleagues promised bold changes, and they delivered. Within their first hundred days of leadership, they steered a course of reform unprecedented in this century. Their chosen instrument of change would be the now-legendary Contract with America. Four months later, nine of the ten Contract items had passed the House, and Newt Gingrich emerged as the most dynamic political leader of his generation. To Renew America is his next step. In it, Newt Gingrich reveals not only the formative events of his own political development, but the key elements of his epochal vision of our nation's future. - Jacket flap.
