review 1: The book is a bit dated coming at the end of the George W. Bush presidency, but the guiding principles she asks we adhere to are still necessary if not more relevant today. Her overall call for "patriotic grace" is thoughtful, well intentioned and spot on--she presents a great case. I agree. However, grace seems to suffer a corresponding blind spot in her unending criticism for every Bush effort during the country's initial seven-year response to Global Islamic Terrorism--he could do nothing right! Apparently, she is blinded by her never-ending love for President Reagan coming at a different time in the Cold War era. I can't understand her loathing hate for Bush--like President Obama says, it was all his Bush's fault . . . Please!
review 2: I gave this to ... moreBrian for Christmas. After a contentious political season, this book seemed fresh and important. I like the way Noonan writes, that newspaper columnist-style. Her thoughts on the media and the war in Iraq are spot on, but her reasoning on immigration was thin.Best of all: her thoughts on generational cooperation. Baby boomers aren't as bad as everyone has made them out to be. less
