“With an ear to the ground and an eye on history, Greenfield takes us on a ride through our divisive times. Weaving real-world experience, clear insight, and a wry wit, he has written an original and inspiring guide that will resonate with anyone who cares where our country is going and wants to contribute to its future.”

Frank Sesno, Professor GW, author of Ask More: The Power of Questions to Open DoorsUncover Solutions, and Spark Change.

About the Author: Lyle Greenfield was born and raised in Rochester, New York. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from Bowling Green University. He began his career in New York City as a copywriter for the ad agency J. Walter Thompson, later moving to the Saatchi agency as creative director on the Jeep business.

In 1980 Greenfield purchased farmland in Bridgehampton, planted a vineyard, and built The Bridgehampton Winery, the first winery in the Hamptons. For four years he served as president of the Long Island Wine Council. (After a 15-year battle with climate and site conditions, the winery closed its doors. The building is now home of the South Fork Natural History Museum.)

In 1989, Greenfield started Bang Music in New York City, a company that provides original music and audio services for television, documentaries, podcasts and other media. He is a founding member and former president of the Association of Music Producers (AMP) and co-creator of the AMP Awards for Music and Sound. Greenfield is the author of a collection of short stories and letters, The Soul Mate Expeditions, a novella thriller, What Vienna Saw, and a coffee table memoir, 1000 Days in St. Barth.

In late 2021, alarmed by the increasingly bitter social and political divisiveness in our country, Greenfield began researching and writing Uniting the States of America with the goal of understanding how we have torn the fabric of our “One Nation” and what we must do to render it whole again.
