A Certain Idea of America
By Peggy Noonan; Penguin Random House, November 19, 2024; ISBN: 9780593854778
Hardcover Kindle (ebook) Audiobook
For a quarter century, Peggy Noonan has been thinking aloud about America in her much-loved Wall Street Journal column. In this new collection of her essential recent work, Noonan demonstrates the erudition, wisdom and humor that have made her one of America’s most admired writers.She calls balls and strikes on the political shenanigans of recent leaders and she honors the integrity of great Americans, ranging from Billy Graham to the heroes of 9/11. A thinker who never allows her tenderness to slip into sentimentality, she writes with clear-eyed urgency about the internal and external dangers facing our republic. She sometimes writes with indignation, but above all she writes with love— and an enduring faith that America can be its best self, that its ideals are worth protecting, and that beauty and heroism can be found in our neighbors, in our history, and in ourselves. This book is a celebration of what America has been, is, and can be.

Praise for Peggy Noonan’s new book, The Time of Our Lives:
“Superb” Publisher’s Weekly
“Bravo, Peggy Noonan. The English historian J. H. Plumb once said that what we need is more ‘heart-wise’ historians. Heart-wise Noonan certainly is.” DAVID McCULLOUGH
“No one writes more beautifully about America than Peggy Noonan — our politics, our culture, our lives. She’s the best friend every nation should have, the one who will tell you everything that’s wrong with you, but say it with so much love and such wry honesty that you can’t help but nod your head in agreement.” MEGAN McARDLE, Bloomberg View
“Peggy Noonan is a national treasure. Her words and essays have swept through decades, capturing events and moments. With grace and optimism Noonan confides in the reader as she would a dear friend. And in a world that is clicking too fast she reminds us how the best of life is found in the details of what we have been and of what we are now.” MATT DRUDGE
“Peggy Noonan’s essays are exquisitely written and perceptively argued. I am a devoted reader. Her writings illuminate the issues and provide a vision for our future.” HENRY KISSINGER
