內容簡介
The Lion's Den offers a prescription for American renewal at a time of eroding confidence in our political institutions and growing confusion about our national purpose.
In Frank Atkinson's formulation, there are no quick fixes for our broken politics ... no easy cure for what ails our democracy. A republic's community spirit and capacity for constructive self-governance depend on a consensus about essential values and the active choice to practice, promote, and perpetuate those values. The ethic of principled citizenship and service that Atkinson considers indispensable for American renewal is not an inherited trait - like every ethic, it is a character requiring cultivation. And it is strongest when grounded in personal faith and integrity ... illuminated by hard-learned lessons from history and experience ... inspired by worthy human exemplars ... propelled by the optimistic pursuit of a "more perfect union" ... and kindled in a culture of mutual respect and forbearance guided by the "Golden Rule."
No starry-eyed idealist, Frank Atkinson's major nonfiction works - The Dynamic Dominion and Virginia in the Vanguard - turned a candid lens on the hard-fought modern politics of his native state. In The Lion's Den, he offers a compelling fictional account of life in the political arena - at once a venue for selfless contribution and palace of selfish ambition. Inspired by timeless lessons from the Book of Daniel, Madison's vision of competition and compromise, and the colorful politics of his contemporary Commonwealth, Atkinson places his characters in a modern-day lion's den where they grapple with vexing moral and practical choices. But Atkinson's players find the grace to come together ... and, he suggests, so can we.
