A Certain Idea of America - Selected Writings

From Pulitzer-prize winning For a quarter century, Peggy Noonan has been thinking aloud about America in her much-loved She calls balls and strikes on the political shenanigans of recent leaders and she honors the integrity of great Americans, ranging from Billy Graham to 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,; and that beauty and heroism can be found in our neighbors, in our history,; and in ourselves. This book is a celebration of what America has been, is, and can be.
