《危机与困境的遗产》是一部描写下一届美国政府所面临的国内外重大挑战、寻求创新解决方案以及负责实施这些方案的人们的小说。除了全球和国内政治问题外，这本书还深入探讨了失去配偶带来的挥之不去的创伤、搬家的痛苦、对退休的复杂情感，以及随着年龄增长保持相关性和社会联系的心理需求。本书旨在引发思考的同时又富有趣味性，轻松愉快的叙述不时会让读者会心一笑。

故事开始于2021年总统就职日。通过主人公"索尔特-佩珀"的视角--他曾在美国政府和华盛顿一家律师事务所任职--展现了分裂公民与政府、美国与世界其他国家的深层分歧与党派之争。索尔特-佩珀本以为自己已经退休，搬到了位于弗吉尼亚州乡村蓝岭山脚下的祖传农场。然而，一位即将在新政府中担任国务卿的老相识说服他接受了一个临时的秘密外交任务。这个任务让索尔特-佩珀与一位能力出众的女同事一起前往白宫、伦敦、柏林和布拉格，参与与当地和中东外交官的敏感会谈。

本书以历史、时事和人性为根基，深入探讨了国际混乱的遗留问题、国内政治的毒性、美国小城镇和乡村的困境、小企业与制造业的挣扎，以及全球对美国领导力的期待。书中的危机和困境并非虚构，正如急需愿意直面挑战、为必要解决方案做出贡献的领导者一样，即便这些解决方案充满风险和不便。

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
