A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Unafraid is a different kind of novel. While its story captivated me, its exploration of the possible was lifting my hopes for America and the world. This is a fine and important book. -Mark Gerzon, author, Leading Through Conflict and President of the Mediators Foundation A bullet strays three inches. A world is transformed. Two dates burn fiercely in the memory of millions of Americans: November 22, 1963 and September 11, 2001. These two tragedies bracket Unafraid, a story grounded in a simple question: what if the fatal bullet fired on that sunny Dallas afternoon had veered three inches off target? Unafraid lays out a compelling answer, rich with the public adventures and private dramas of 20th Century icons-J. Edgar Hoover, Martin Luther King, Fidel Castro, Golda Meir, the Beatles-played out on a transformed world stage. At the center of this parallel history is a leader who blows the sides out of conventional politics with a simple belief: a primary reason that idealistic goals are "impossible" to achieve is that we needlessly decide that they're impossible to achieve. With a tiny imaginary spin of history's wheel, Unafraid opens the gates to an America of realistic hope and possibility. "What an exciting, clever, imaginative book! And more, what an insightful, important one. This is the Great Read you've been looking for." -Neale Donald Walsch, author of the Conversations with God series.
