Produktbeschreibung
Inheritance of Crises and Dysfunctionis a novel that explores the immense challenges facing the next US Administration, both domestically and internationally, while seeking creative solutions and individuals ready to implement them. Beyond political matters, the story delves into personal struggles such as the lingering trauma of losing a spouse, the difficulty of relocating, the mixed feelings about retirement, and the psychological need to stay relevant and connected in one's later years. The narrative aims to provoke thought, but also to entertain, with a tone light enough to evoke a smile or occasional laughter. The book begins on the day of the 2021 presidential inauguration and is told through the perspective of the protagonist, "Salt Pepper," a former US Government employee and Washington law firm associate. It highlights the severe polarization and partisanship dividing both American society and the government, as well as the strained relationships between the US and other nations. Salt, thinking he has retired to his family farm in rural Virginia, is convinced by an old friend-soon to be Secretary of State in a new Administration-to take on a temporary covert diplomatic role. This assignment leads Salt and a capable female colleague on a journey to the White House, London, Berlin, Prague, and sensitive meetings with diplomats, including those from the Middle East. Rooted in history, current affairs, and human nature, the novel sheds light on the inheritance of international instability, domestic political toxicity, and the disruptive forces impacting small towns, rural America, and the manufacturing sector. It also emphasizes the global demand for US leadership and the pressing need for courageous leaders willing to tackle these challenges, no matter the risks or difficulties.
