Bøger af Alan Duff

The Hekes are a family in turmoil. A tyrannical, alcoholic, violent patriarch, an alcoholic, ever-trying-to-reform mother, and three degenerate children. Can the draw Maori ritual and tradition pull them back from the brink?

In 1982, Alan Duff took an oath to defend the United States of America from all enemies, both foreign and domestic. He holds true to his promise to this day. When Duff enlisted, the enemy was communism. In the 1990s, the nation fought over oil. The 2000s saw a new war against terrorism. And today? Today the greatest threat the USA faces is the nation's own politicians. Politics, once about public service, has become associated with selfish control and unmitigated greed. While most look to DC for examples of corruption, the problem is systemic and affects every level of governance. Duff saw this devolution of our once great system firsthand while serving as an elected local official. He found himself comparing self-serving politicians to the selflessness and sacrifice of military service members. And in this comparison, he saw how we, as a nation, can return to our foundational principles. Fixing America's Shattered Politics offers a guide to restoring our country and demanding accountability from our politicians. Join Duff as he reveals the far-reaching nature of our internal collapse, provides suggestions on how to slow our downward spiral, and restores hope for the future of a great nation.
