William F. Buckley, Jr., "Mr. Conservative," believes that something must be done to revive our youth's indifference to today's government and politics.
In GRATITUDE he offers a plan for universal voluntary national service for men and women 18 years of age and older. Here are his suggestions for how such a program might be structured and administered; on the inducements and sanctions appropriate to its realization; analysis of the benefits, material and spiritual, that would come to those who serve; and an idea of the benefits to those who are served.
"After a decade marred by greed and self-indulgence, this book, in reminding us of our obligation, is a national service." (The New York Times)
