America is in trouble. Our massive national debt is eating up our country's wealth at an alarming rate. Best-selling author and historian Peter Jedick uses examples from his various careers as a professional fireman, substitute teacher and cab driver to explain in simple terms how over the last 50 years President Lyndon Johnson's "Great Society" bankrupted America while destroying our inner-city neighborhoods. As our national debt and our national poverty rate both soar to historic heights, Jedick offers a wide range of innovative ideas on how to fix our broken political system.
Peter Jedick's career as a best-selling author and historian spans several decades. On a national scale, he has authored four books and written for several magazines including America in World War II and Baseball America. As a local writer in Northeast Ohio, he has written for every major news organization including the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Cleveland Magazine, Sun Newspapers and The Cleveland Press. As the recipient of an Excellence in Journalism award from the Press Club of Cleveland, Jedick has been interviewed and recognized by numerous TV and radio shows. He also had a stint as an award-winning radio commentator for WKSU-FM, an NPR (National Public Radio) station. Jedick is best known for his novel HIPPIES (Amazon), a fictional account of campus life surrounding the tragic events of the 1970 Kent State shootings. HIPPIES was well received on college campuses across the country when he addressed audiences at Harvard, Yale, Columbia and Ohio State University. He graduated cum laude, with honors from Kent State University in 1971. Jedick's second novel, The West Tech Terrorist (Amazon), is a fictional account of life in Cleveland when the U.S. was at the brink of World War II and Eliot Ness was Cleveland's Safety Director. In this book, Jedick takes us on an adventure as Ness and his student sidekick team up to foil a plot hatched by Nazi sympathizers. He takes us back in time while perfectly capturing the mood of the city - and the country - in that era. His other two books are a pair of local histories. CLEVELAND: Where the East Coast Meets the Midwest and LEAGUE PARK.
