"[Brookhiser] writes today with the same assurance, intelligence,
clarity and directness that characterized his first cover article
for National Review."--Washington Times

pride and patriotism. Give Me Liberty is an exceptional study of
America's 'exceptional idea.'"--Roanoke Times
"An elegant and lyrical case for the ideal that has shaped
America."--Mona Charen
"Brookhiser grounds his spirited argument for American
exceptionalism in the idea of liberty...An engaging history of
admirable episodes from America's past."--Kirkus
"In our deeply divided America, Richard Brookhiser goes back in
search of our roots, and finds them in that many-headed idea called
'liberty.' In his signature style, he wastes no words, defies the
conventional political categories, and invites us to join him in
recovering a series of inspirational moments when we all felt the
same future in our hearts and minds."--Joseph J. Ellis, author of
American Dialogue: The Founders and Us
"Rather than offering a polemic...Brookhiser uses history to make
his case...An important text."--Winston-Salem Journal
"Smart...As historian, Mr. Brookhiser understands the varied
standards and qualities of the American experience and interprets
its growth with skill and understanding. And as journalist, he
performs a key service: joining the ideals and episodes together,
defining the theme that makes the United States exceptional."--Wall
Street Journal
"Subtle, economic, and gripping...[An] original reflection on the
nature of our American experiment, the work of a man who has for
many years immersed himself in the minds of those who forged our
freedom."--Michael Knox Beran, National Review
"With his characteristic combination of elegance and shrewdness,
Richard Brookhiser gives us another insightful account of what
makes us the nation we are. Give Me Liberty is intellectual history
at its riveting best."--H.W. Brands, author of Heirs of the
Founders and Dreams of El Dorado
