How does a century transform the life of a man, and the life of a country? Renowned author, World War II veteran and philanthropist Robert Cabot offers a searingly honest, lyrical depiction of one man's pilgrimage through America's century, and of the impending demise of an empire.Born in privilege, Robert's early years were gilded, but as a careful observer, he was acutely aware of the inequalities in the world around him. A veteran of several World War II campaigns, he received degrees from Harvard College and Yale Law School, and served for ten years in the Marshall Plan and foreign aid programs in Italy, Thailand, Sri Lanka, and Washington, D.C. As a citizen diplomat, Robert traveled to the Soviet Union, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and China. He lived for many years in Italy and Greece, returning to the U.S. in a solo transatlantic sail. Robert has developed sustainable intentional communities, and is involved in many social change projects.Through a lens honed by a near-century's worth of rich, diverse experiences, Robert Cabot provides a thoughtful reflection on our country's past, and casts an objective eye on its uncertain future.During our current political climate, heavily influenced by money, hypocrisy, divisiveness, and criminality at the highest levels, Returning Time poses frightening questions about the future of our country, and of our planet. Yet at the same time, it shimmers with breathtaking moments: the exhilaration of a first train ride, the advent of radio, sailing on glittering Chesapeake Bay, and the joys and sorrows that when stitched together, make up a life. Experience the glory and the tragedy of America's century through the perspective of a gifted writer whose powerful prose illuminates the beauty of the world around us, and gives volume to all our uncertain voices.
