Review # 1 was written on 2018-10-27 00:00:00 Glyn Jones Some great selections from Roman Catholic political theorists in the aftermath of the French Revolution. The selection from Chateaubriand is prophetic and bears rereading. Highly recommended.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-07-16 00:00:00 Rani Rendon No matter what religion, race or political party you profess to be, ALL may benefit from learning more about this amazing woman. Her accomplishments are truly remarkable; classical pianist, Stanford Professor and Provost, US National Security Advisor, and Secretary of State, to name a few. "...a skilled diplomat, a fine teacher and administrator, a lady of glamour, and a woman of character and faith, she has the rare and priceless ability to lead and inspire nations." Mary Beth Brown To give you an idea of her faith and character here is a quote from Condi herself: "I feel that faith allows me to have a kind of optimism about the future. You look around you and you see an awful lot of pain and suffering and things that are going wrong. It could be oppresive. But when I look at my own story or many others that I have seen, I think, "How could it possibly be that it has turned out this way?" Then my only answer is it's God's plan. And that makes me very optimistic that this is all working out in a proper way if we all stay close to God and pray and follow in His footsteps." Condi, said the Washington Post, is "easily one of the administration's most effective communicators. She's also among the least likely to come off as fanatical, cranky, intemperate, or possessed by the delusion that she and God are on a first-name basis." I thoroughly enjoyed learning about Condi my only compaint is that she doesn't want to run for President.
