From Pulitzer-prize winning Wall Street Journal columnist and New York Times bestselling author Peggy Noonan, a masterclass in how to see and love America.
For a quarter century, Peggy Noonan has been thinking aloud about America in her beloved 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. A thinker who never allows her tenderness to slip into sentimentality, 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 for Random House, the political and literary classic 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.
This book is a celebration of what America has been, is, and can be.
Peggy Noonan is a Pulitzer-Prize winning opinion columnist at the Wall Street Journal where her column, "Declarations," has run since 2000. Formerly a special assistant and speechwriter for President Ronald Reagan, she is the author of ten books on American politics, history and culture.
