Cynicism's Triumph over Integrity in 21st Century America: Bromwell Ault
Chronicles the Disintegration of U.S. National Identity and Culture in New
Nonfiction

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Nov. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- In a startling new nonfiction
detailing the grim realities of contemporary America, "Eminent Disdain: The
Triumph of Cynicism over Integrity in 21st Century America" (published by
AuthorHouse), the new nonfiction by Bromwell Ault, sheds light on failures of
major U.S. institutions, including the U.S. Congress, public media and the
Department of Homeland Security, which in combination have spelled the
disintegration of American values. Ault challenges Americans to reclaim their
nation and show that they put principles above party politics.

Honest, accessible and wide in its scope, "Eminent Disdain" locates its
discussion of contemporary America within the highly conflicted economic,
religious and political world which the U.S. has inhabited over the last two
decades as the world's sole superpower. Along with a massive explosion of
technology, wealth and population, the past century has seen the gap between
the rich and the poor widened ever further and the existing power structures
altered beyond recognition. Ault focuses his criticism on those American
institutions that have become obsessed with what he calls "the growth game," a
race to gain ever more power and growth in the absence of concern over
American cultural welfare and national identity.

Ault sheds light on myriad issues that are treated with political indifference
by the polarized, elected government, including immigration, education, the
environment, healthcare and other domestic policies. He writes:

We should be concerned about our change of character, for the extent
to which we allow our integrity to be eroded is the measure of our
national cynicism. In twenty-first century America it is palpable,
persistent and mostly unopposed! These chapters are rife with deceit,
arrogance, ethical and functional failures, human error and
corruption, which support a climate and circumstances that could well
prove fatal to our democracy. Whether we can prevent such a fate,
whether we can undertake a truly national, cooperative effort to
rebuild our institutions and whether we can reform the way our
government and society, functions is now a matter of will. I believe
this can be done, but we must recognize that time grows ever shorter
and, as it does, the odds of success longer.

While "Eminent Disdain" pays frequent attention to the past, in order to
highlight how far we have come from what our forefathers had envisioned,
Ault's vision is firmly rooted in America's future, one that he believes could
be a bright one should Americans and their representatives choose to begin the
painful process of changing our ways of thinking and way of life.

Bromwell Ault was born in 1927 in Cincinnati and grew up in New York City
during the Great Depression. He received his bachelor's degree at Yale
University and began his career in earnest at an advertising agency in New
York City. Ault has lived in Florida for the past 14 years and has three
children from a previous marriage. In 1957, he published his first book, "A
Retail Food Study," which was privately printed and distributed.
