书籍简介

来自一位普利策奖获得者的记者，讲述了一个美国机构的令人震惊的兴衰。自 1910 年成立以来，美国童子军一直是美国首屈一指的青年组织，崇尚自力更生和荣誉。从比尔·盖茨到马丁·路德·金，有超过 1 亿美国人曾加入过童子军。然而，今天，童子军面临着自身造成的生存威胁：超过 82,000 名前童子军提出指控，声称自己受到性虐待——是二十年前震惊天主教会的类似指控数量的七倍。 《以我的荣誉》讲述了美国童子军的完整故事，追踪其创建、成长、影响以及它所造成的巨大代际创伤。该书利用这一标志性机构讲述了上个世纪美国价值观的故事，探讨了美国对“造就男人”含义的不断变化的理解。这个关于权力与虐待、宗教与政治、丑闻与正义的引人入胜的故事，通过开创性的研究和令人难忘的人物阵容而变得栩栩如生。

From a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, the shocking rise and fall of an American institution. Since its founding in 1910, the Boy Scouts of America has been the nation’s premier youth organization, espousing self-reliance and honor. More than 100 million Americans have been Boy Scouts, from Bill Gates to Martin Luther King Jr. Today, however, Scouting faces an existential threat of its own making: more than 82,000 former Scouts have filed claims alleging they were sexually abused—seven times the number of similar allegations that rocked the Catholic Church two decades ago. On My Honor untangles the full story of the Boy Scouts of America, tracking its creation, growth, influence, and the massive generational trauma it has caused. Using the iconic institution to tell a story of American values over the last century, the book grapples with America’s changing understanding of what it means to “make men.” This riveting story of power and abuse, religion and politics, scandal and justice, is brought to life by groundbreaking research and an unforgettable cast of characters.
