Synopsis
What's Right is a potent mixture of David Frum's essays, editorial pieces, reviews and lectures from the last ten years. Included are his best and most searing columns; profiles of Colin Powell, Paul Martin, Newt Gingrich and Mike Harris; a look at same-sex marriages; a surprisingly convincing argument for Canada getting the bomb; exposés on health care, fundamentalism and the new Congress; an attack on everything from recycling to Calvin Klein billboards; and a lament of John Turner's political career.
Challenging and provocative, What's Right is a roadmap for the right-thinking that tells us where we've been, where we are and where we should be going.

About the Author
David Frum was born in Toronto in 1960. He graduated from Yale University in 1982 and from Harvard Law School in 1987. His first book, Dead Right, was called "the smartest book written from the inside about the American conservative movement" by The New York Times. He currently lives in Washington, D.C., with his wife and two children.
