Michener on America! Our bestselling author and outstanding citizen evaluates America, and gives us his scorecard on nine fundamental problems America must confront and solve to remain the vital nation he has known and loved.

For close to fifty years, in such monumental bestsellers as Texas, Hawaii, Centennial and Chesapeake, James A. Michener has brought America's present and past alive for millions of fans. Now, in this thought-provoking program, he draws on both the lessons of history, and the observations of a lifetime, to outline key problems that are crucial for America to address.

Michener offers wisdom and an informed perspective that goes beyond newspaper headlines to reveal what America must do to remain a great nation. He discusses America's shift from a producer to a consumer nation, the education system, religion, cultural life, employment, health care, race relations, and changes in the American family.

"...in the next half century we can light new candles of excellence, protect the ones we already have and gain extension. I wish I could witness the next years of decision; they should be riveting as we face one crucial choice after another. I hope our genius for doing the right thing will guide us." -- James A. Michener, from This Noble Land
