TIME correspondent Charlotte Alter defines the class of young leaders who are remaking the nation--how grappling with 9/11 as teens, serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, occupying Wall Street and protesting with Black Lives Matter, and shouldering their way into a financially rigged political system has shaped the people who will govern the future.

What The Reviewers Say

[Alter] does an excellent job detailing — with persuasive data — what has shaped and motivated this young generation so far.
Danielle Kurtzleben,
The Washington Post
The Ones We’ve Been Waiting For is an exploration, not a treatise.

Publishers Weekly
... well-crafted and informative.

Kirkus
... a surprising group portrait of a new generation of political leaders.
