In a memoir at once deeply felt, lively, and astute, Bill Bradley talks about his life, his country, and his hopes for the American future. He speaks with affection about his small-town Missouri upbringing. He traces his road from Princeton to Oxford to professional basketball to public service. And he brings vividly to life the world of a U.S. Senator – the rocky road to legislation, the invasiveness of the media, the power of money.

Bill Bradley offers his vision for how the principles he developed playing basketball can be applied to everyday life. In ten essays filled with intensely personal observations and reflections, he revisits the court with the fire of a competitor and eye of a writer, exploring team dynamics; the pure love of the game that leads to the unselfish pass or off-the-ball screen; the individual courage it takes to risk a last-second shot; the responsibility one has to teammates, coaches, and fans to stay in shape, play hard, and honor the game.

“Politics is stuck” – Bill Bradley writes in this insightful, informative, and provocative book about America at a crossroads – but “idealism isn’t dead. It can be reawakened.” What will it take to build a better, stronger country?

Bill Bradley ran for president, helped shape a national debate, and altered America’s views on universal healthcare, child poverty, race relations, gun control, and campaign finance reform.
