More than a decade after the original publication of The Power of Citizenship, we find ourselves living through another era of political division, civic distrust, and national uncertainty. Americans increasingly speak past one another, public life feels coarser and more performative, and the spirit of "ask not what your country can do for you-ask what you can do for your country" can feel more distant than ever. This new edition of The Power of Citizenship revisits John F. Kennedy's enduring vision at a moment when the nation needs it most.
Author Scott D. Reich argues that the most powerful and underappreciated element of Kennedy's legacy is his call to citizenship-and that a recommitment to the values Kennedy championed remains essential to America's future. Blending history, storytelling, and contemporary reflection, Reich recaptures the energy and aspiration of the Kennedy era while drawing clear connections to the challenges of modern American life. He examines the forces pulling Americans apart and reminds readers that citizenship is not simply about politics, but about responsibility, participation, service, and shared national purpose.Part history and part call to action, The Power of Citizenship explores what made JFK such a timeless and transformational figure, reminding us that democracy ultimately depends not on what we demand from our country, but on what we are willing to give to it."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
