The Flag, The Cross, And The Station Wagon by Bill McKibben
The Moral Arguments That Divide America
Through on-the-ground reporting and personal encounters in small towns and suburbs during the Reagan era, the book paints a vivid portrait of Middle America—where deep patriotism, evangelical faith, and family-centered consumer culture combine with economic insecurity to produce strong conservative political impulses. Mixing anecdote, social observation, and political analysis, it explains how religion and national identity shape everyday life and voting behavior, and argues that outsiders often misread the grievances and values sustaining these communities.
