The Los Angeles Times has praised his "bold positions on foreign policy and national security" and wondered, "Whats not to like" In America: Our Next Chapter, Nebraska-born Hagel offers a hard-hitting examination of the state of our nation and provides substantial, meaningful proposals that can guide America back onto the right path.Basing his suggestions on thorough research and careful thought, as well as on personal insight from his years as a political insider, successful businessman, and decorated war hero, he discusses domestic issues such as control of U.S. debt and confronts foreign policy problems, including Chinas growing economy and Irans aggressive political, ideological, and nuclear stances. Always true to the beliefs instilled in him during his childhood on the prairie, he speaks passionately about service-to ones country and to ones fellow citizens-as the path toward a renewed America. A staunch Republican yet a "hero to liberals" (Time), Secretary Hagel asks the tough questions and delivers straight answers to Americas most pressing problems. America: Our Next Chapter is a serious, honest, and ultimately optimistic look at our nations future, from an American original.

Review "Chuck Hagel is a leader and passionate advocate of dialogue and multilateral engagement, and his book describes in clear terms why the world needs enlightened American leadership. His vivid examination of American politics provides a rationale for future policy."--Kofi A. Annan "Senator Hagel is a plain spoken man from the heartland with a big vision for where America needs to go next - and how we can all help. This is a book for people who care about their country."--Tom Brokaw "A leader and passionate advocate of dialogue and multilateral engagement, Chuck Hagels book describes in clear terms why the world needs enlightened American leadership. His vivid examination of American politics provides a rationale for future policy."--Kofi A. Annan, UN Secretary-General (1997-2006) "[Chuck Hagels] is a true American voice, straight forward, pragmatic, full of the values that have made this country great. His book traces a course for a... more hopeful future for the country; it sets standards for the next generation to follow. A must read."--James D. Wolfensohn, President of the World Bank 1995-2005 " He writes with insight, expertise, authority and with the credentials that come from his dedicated service in war and peace. . . . . A fast, solid worthwhile read."--Colin L. Powell "Well-reasoned and timely . . . His approach should be required reading for anyone who cares about the diminishing ability of our elected officials to seek common ground--and people everywhere interested in an inspirational American life."--Alan Greenspan "This forthright and surprisingly blunt book... details his public life as a United States senator and gives him an opportunity to ask some tough questions, and to make some tough judgments. Hagel has made his mark in the U.S. Senate by being his own man, a man above partisanship."--Journal Star Review "America The Next Chapter" is a powerful combination of personal reminiscence and public policy prescription. Hagel is an authentic and courageous voice--a principled Republican moderate in the finest traditional sense.--Susan Eisenhower Review Quote "Well-reasoned and timely . . . His approach should be required reading for anyone who cares about the diminishing ability of our elected officials to seek common ground-and people everywhere interested in an inspirational American life."
