A Deficit of Decency

520 A former U.S. Senator and Georgia Governor, Zell Miller identifies a wide range of issues where a shortage of decency is threatening the very heart of America: the disconnected Washington elite; the decline of traditional Christian values; the outdated and unfair federal tax code; the irresponsibility of the liberal media; the lack of decent role models in sports and music. Risking friendships and a lifetime as a party leader, Miller speaks candidly about the sense of duty that led him to attack his own party and deliver a keynote speech at the 2004 Republican National Convention. This sense of decency in the face of hostility, he believes, is desperately needed at the heart of American culture. -Dust jacket.
