“The only predictable thing about Noonan’s column is its unpredictability.”―Tim Russert
.
For a quarter century, Peggy Noonan has been thinking aloud about America in her Wall Street Journal column, and this new collection of her essential recent work demonstrates the erudition, wisdom and wit that have made her one of America’s most admired writers.
.
She calls balls and strikes on current politicians and honors great figures such as Bob Dylan, Billy Graham, Tom Wolfe, and the heroes of 9/11. She writes with clear-eyed urgency about the internal and external dangers facing our republic. She sometimes writes with indignation, but above all she writes with love—and an enduring faith that America can be its best self, that its ideals are worth protecting. .
.
Since her time as Ronald Reagan’s speechwriter, and her subsequent first book, What I Saw at the Revolution, her column has cemented her position as a moral compass for Americans who value character, love of country, and civility. The book is a celebration of what America has been, is, and can be.
