Divided We Stand - Bill Newcott

In Divided We Stand, Bill Newcott - longtime senior editor/writer for National Geographic and AARP the Magazine - discovers a country that is not what we see in our daily doom scrolls. While Americans may well face many irreconcilable differences, when they actually come face-to-face with their political opposites, their first instinct is to find common ground.

After more than three decades crisscrossing the nation on assignment, Newcott saw a bigger, more generous picture of his fellow Americans: Universally generous in times of trouble, always willing to collaborate toward common goals, and hungering for reconciliation with former opponents.

With offbeat humor and an eye for the most appealing of human quirks, Bill Newcott has an essential message for America: We are all in this together... no matter what.
