Synopsis "Joseph Sobran: The National Review Years: Articles from 1974 to 1991"

Often compared to G.K. Chesterton and H.L. Mencken, Joseph Sobran produced some of the finest essays in the English language. This selection is an engaging look at the politics, culture, and mindset of the late 20th century. Covering a wide range of topics including Christianity, secular humanism, the Constitution, morality, motion pictures, books, music, liberalism, tyranny, so-called gay rights, Shakespeare, and even baseball - Sobran writes with grace, eloquence, and wit. Even more important, considering these turbulent times, his penetrating, timeless insights can help us regain our sanity. "Sobran's voice was unique, his style readily identifiable, his wit irrepressible, his range as wide as that of any columnist of his generation." - Patrick J. Buchanan (from the Foreword) "[Joe Sobran's] literary ability, his originality, learning, eloquence and the sheer speed with which he could produce articles reached the level of genius. ... He was the intellectual equivalent of a natural athlete who can reach Olympic standards with no training." - Tom Bethell (from the Preface) "Now a whole new generation can discover for itself Joe Sobran's uniquely powerful, persuasive, elegant, trenchant - and hilarious - voice; the voice of the twentieth century's greatest essayist; a voice that speaks again in the pages of this marvelous book." - Ronald K. Tacelli, SJ, Boston College "Joe could say in a sentence what most writers would need an entire column to express. [His] specialty was to make blindingly simple points that would cut through mountains of sophistry. Once you heard them no amount of fancy footwork could make that particular liberal humbug work again." - Ann Coulter (from the Afterword)
