A former U.S. Senator and Georgia Governor, Zell Miller identifies a wide range of issues where a shortage of decency is threatening the very heart of America; the disconnected Washington elite, the decline of traditional Christian values, the outdated and unfair federal tax code, the irresponsibility of the liberal media, and the lack of decent role models in sports and music.

Risking friendships and a lifetime as a party leader, Miller speaks candidly about the sense of duty that led him to attack his own party and deliver a keynote speech at the 2004 Republican National Convention. This sense of decency in the face of hostility, he believes, is desperately needed at the heart of American culture.

In a time when commitment to duty is dying, Washington doesn't care, and Christian values are being ignored, Zell Miller offers this treatise on how we may yet save this great civilization.
