Title: Thank goodness for so balanced and well written a book
Product review: David Brooks in his recent New York Times article rightly bemoaned the fact that so much literature today is extremist (and implicity apologised for some of the material he wrote during the Clinton years). What is refreshing about Ivins is that she is incisive, witty, thorough - and totally lacking in the kind of extremist venom that discredits liberals and enables conservatives to write them off accordingly. She is neither Maureen Dowd nor Ann Coulter (to take examples fairly from both sides of the divide). So whether you are a Democrat or not, you should enjoy this book - if sensible Democrats like Ivins and sensible conservatives like Brooks prevailed, political commentary would be a much better place! This is a very helpful book to read as 2004 is upon us. Christopher Catherwood, author of CHRISTIANS, MUSLIMS AND ISLAMIC RAGE (Zondervan, 2003)
