If you look at America through journalist George Packer’s eyes, you’ll see a landscape where familiar staples of society, such as Social Security and privacy, are disappearing in a country-wide decline in civilization.
On Tuesday's Up to Date, we talk with the National Book Award winner about his latest book, why he sees such a bleak picture for the country and how we might make it to the light at the end of the tunnel.
Guest:
- George Packer, journalist and author of The Assassins' Gate: America in Iraq
HEAR MORE: George Packer speaks at 7 p.m. April 10 at Unity Temple on The Plaza. For ticket information, call Rainy Day Books, (913) 384-3126.
