In such modern classics as <i>Chesapeake, Centennial, Hawaii, Alaska, </i>and <i>Texas, </i>James A. Michener proved time and again that his understanding of and love for his country was unparalleled. <i>This Noble Land </i>is Michener’s most personal statement about America, an examination of the issues that threaten to fragment and undermine the nation—racial conflict, the widening gulf between rich and poor, the decline of education, the inadequacies of our health care system—as well as a thought-provoking prescription for sustaining our “outstanding success.” Infused with the wisdom and passion of a lifetime, <i>This Noble Land</i> stands as a wake-up call for a troubled era.<br> <br><b>Praise for <i>This Noble Land</i></b><br><b><i> </i></b><br>“A book-length essay on the often worrying, often inspiring course of America in the nine decades of Michener’s life.”<b>—<i>The Washington Post</i></b><br> <br>&ldqu
