"Everyone knows you can't build things in America anymore. Everyone, that is, except John D. Bassett III.

When everyone else was rushing for the exits, Bassett bet on the talent, dedication, and uncompromising quality of American workmanship. And he won.

Bassett's book is about how those values underpinned his personal success and how they can revitalize Amerca itself. In the face of feckless leadership, crumbling infrastructure, and global competition, Bassett's story is a blueprint of how Amerca can revitalize its role as leader of the free world and how your success can be part of it." - from the inner front jacket flap.
