America currently faces five threats that could undermine, if not eliminate, the United States if immediate steps are not taken to correct them. The threats are Islamic terrorists and rogue dictatorships armed with nuclear or biological weapons; the removal of God from American public life; a loss of patriotism and sense of America's history; a decline in economic supremacy because of poor science and math education; and the increasing budgetary burden of Social Security and Medicare. To tackle these problems, Gingrich offers this "21st Century Contract with America," which he outlines in great detail in this bold and thought-provoking book.
