Joseph Sobran

From the rear cover of this 195 page book: "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, liberals and liberalism, tyranny, so-called gay rights, Shakespeare, even baseball - Sobran writes with grace, eloquence, and wit. Even more important, considering these turbulent times, his penetrating and timeless insights can help us regain our sanity." And from the Foreword written by Pat Buchanan: "His voice was unique, his style readily identifiable, his wit irrepressible, his range as wide as that of any columnist of his generation. What is extraordinary about this book of essays is the range of Joe's interests and the quality of his insights. It reminds us why we miss his commentary - and his company."
