Reviews
"Brilliant. . . . No other book combines such shrewd insights into our current state. . . . No other book is at once so lively and so deep, so witty and so thoughtful, so outrageous and so sensible, so amusing and so chilling. . . . An extraordinary book."--William Kristol "The Wall Street Journal"
"Rich and absorbing. . . . A grand tour of the American mind."-- "The Washington Post"
