Publisher's summary

The former Secretary of State, and first generation American, on the importance of remaining an open and welcoming nation.

This essay comes from the NPR series This I Believe, which features brief personal reflections from both famous and unknown Americans. The pieces that make up the series compel listeners to rethink not only what and how they have arrived at their beliefs, but also the extent to which they share them with others.

Four minutes to freedom

This is four minutes of a great man, who says in a very concise way what this great country is all about.
I’ve only purchased the books that the general narrates himself. He just has this way of telling a story.
This is one of the essays that came from a previously published book from NPR from famous people , and the general was one essay.
Where my comments of help?
