An American dreamer : life in a divided country
(Book)

The Pulitzer Prize Award–winning author tells the story of the massive changes underway in America through the eyes of an Iraq war veteran engulfed by the fear and anger sweeping through his beloved country. David Finkel, known for his unique, in-depth reporting, spent fourteen years deep inside Brent Cummings’s world to create this intimate and vivid portrait of a man’s life, his work, family, community, his thoughts, and his quest for connection, as America becomes ever more divided. An American Dreamer illuminates, with the deepest empathy, the feelings and lives of many people in America today, and it is a brilliant chronicle of one person’s everyday experiences of frustration, confusion, and hope.
