Industry Reviews
"The book displays [Friedman's] salient strengths as a commentator, as well as some weaknesses."
New York Times Book Review - Geoffrey Wheatcroft (09/08/2002)
"What saves this book and makes it eminently worth reading is Mr. Friedman's sure grasp of so many of the main issues facing the United States in the wars with terror and Iraq.....Mr. Friedman is right about these critical matters and many others at a time when clarity and common sense are badly needed. More than the reporting-- often brilliant--and more than the access to insiders, it is this ability to see a few big truths steadily and whole that makes him the most important columnist in America today."
New York Times - Walter Russell Mead (10/22/2002)
"Friedman's editorial voice is a shrewd confection, combining the plain-talking American patriotism of the guy at the bar with privileged information accessible only to the ultimate insider."
New York Review of Books - Michael Ignatieff (04/10/2003)
