Overview

A Riveting Journey and Quest to Save Democracy

From the flames of a Ku Klux Klan cross burning in his home's front yard, to dealing with the aftermath of Martin Luther King's assassination, to knowing and working with some of our nation's most effective public servants, this book shares the passion of reasoned and reasonable people working together to resolve problems and meet opportunities at the global, national, state, and local levels. Highly praised, published columns dig into issues big and small, vital to those interested in improving their community, state, and nation.

The book describes, praises, and encourages specific leaders of both parties in our extremely difficult task of making this democracy work for everyone.

It concludes with a specific recommendation of action by the reader and others that, the author believes, could contribute to addressing not only the survival of the American dream, but embolden our effort to do so.

About the Author

Following the success of his inaugural memoir, Forever Young, Bo Roberts is launching his second book, Flaming Moderate, featuring his personal experiences, opinions, and excerpts from his extensive portfolio of op-ed columns.

Beginning his writing career in the 1960s, Bo’s achievements began early. He served as the youngest newspaper editor in the country, the youngest cabinet-level Chief of Staff for a Tennessee governor, and the youngest vice president of his alma mater—the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Continuing the trend, after his stint in higher education, Bo was selected as the youngest-ever CEO of an international exposition. He went on to be named president of the 1982 World’s Fair in Knoxville, an event celebrated as a record-breaking top tourist draw in the southeastern United States, a record that still stands in 2023.

Bo leads his own boutique marketing consulting firm, Roberts Strategies LLC, and he stays active in politics and sports. He and his wife (and editor), Leigh Hendry, share an appreciation for wine, books, travel, and spending time with friends and family.
