Description

Dr. Ben Carson - acclaimed brain surgeon, controversial gadfly, inspiring role model and bestselling author - offers a plan for restoring America's greatness. In One Nation, he reflects on what he sees as the dangers facing America, calling for a return to the principles that made America great in an urgent message.

A concrete conservative plan for America from a 2016 Republican candidate.

BEN CARSON, MD, was raised by a poor single mother in Detroit.

A former member of the President's Council on Bioethics, he is the recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor in the country. Dr. Carson and his wife and coauthor, CANDY CARSON, are the founders of the Carson Scholars Fund, which recognizes the achievements of deserving young people. They have three grown children and two grandchildren, and now live in Florida.

"In One Nation, the man who made headlines for his 2013 National Prayer Breakfast speech hopes to unite the country under common principles." - The Christian Post "In light of the economic stagnation, swelling debt, out-of-control bureaucracy, and moral decline facing America today, Dr. Ben Carson's One Nation is about the most optimistic book you will find at your local bookstore. Brimming with confidence about America's ability to come to a consensus on such issues as debt, welfare, and gay marriage, Carson provides a hopeful, if idealistic, look at the problems plaguing society today, along with a set of solutions." - The Blaze "One thing not in doubt is Carson's conservatism. He's the real deal, an economic, social, and foreign policy conservative. - The Weekly Standard "Highlighting the causes of disunity and decline in the nation, Carson takes aim at political correctness and its impact on curbing honest speech on critical issues.... Carson intersperses his own inspirational life story and biblical passages as he argues for the essential role of faith in addressing the myriad complex issues facing the nation." - Booklist "No matter what you think of Dr. Carson, if you want to know more about a man you'll be hearing a lot from in the next few years, it's worth reading One Nation." - The Root "His groundbreaking contributions to medicine and his inspiring efforts to help America's youth fulfill their potential have strengthened our Nation."-Presidential Medal of Freedom, 2008
