Beyond a House Divided

Carl Anderson

Carl Anderson - a national figure for his work in government, for civil rights, and currently as leader of the Knights of Columbus - sythesizes his experience and knowledge to find common ground in the divisive political and cultural life of the country. BEYOND A HOUSE DIVIDED is a quick read in which he uses original polling data (primarily from the Marist Organization) on the handful of today's seemingly most contentious issues. On-sale in the midst of the midterm election and meant to lead discussion in the lead-up in the opening of the next Congress, the Knights of Columbus will vigorously support the publication of this trade paper original and will help facilitate sales among their 1.8 million members and beyond.
