Fatherless America by David Blankenhorn

 Re-read of a classic. Written in the 1990s, prophetic of the social dysfunction we are experiencing today.

The Future of Marriage by David Blankenhorn

I had read Blankenhorn's Fatherless America some time ago, and wondered if he written a follow on. It turns out he did, an excellent work on the state of marriage and its future.

Fatherless America by David Blankenhorn

Found this for a couple of bucks while browsing in the used bookstore. A classic from the 1990's, Blankenhorn uses the characters of the Old Father, New Father, Deadbeat Dad, Visiting Father and others to explain the crisis in fatherhood (which has only become much worse since then). He does an excellent job showing how all the various "new" fathers fail to provide the family what only real fathers can.
