A More Perfect Union is the story of America's rise to superpower status, its little-known behind-the-curtain international dealings, and the impact of those dealings upon the world today. It is the story of one man's desire to balance the pain and personal experiences of his youth, with the idealism of military service and society in general. It is a story that reveals how what we believe, what we are taught to believe, and what the truth is are sometimes totally different things. Finally, A More Perfect Union is the story of a journey from Socialization to Realization. It is a journey we all must take.
