Page "David Frum" Paragraph 13

Frum's first book, Dead Right, was released in 1994.

It " expressed intense dissatisfaction with supply-siders, evangelicals, and nearly all Republican politicians.

" Frank Rich of the New York Times described it as " the smartest book written from the inside about the American conservative movement ," William F. Buckley, Jr. found it " the most refreshing ideological experience in a generation ," and Daniel McCarthy of The American Conservative called it " a crisply written indictment of everything its author disliked about conservatism in the early ’ 90s.

" He is also the author of What's Right ( 1996 ) and How We Got Here ( 2000 ), a history of the 1970s, which " framed the 1970s in the shadow of World War II and Vietnam, suggesting, ' The turmoil of the 1970s should be understood ... as the rebellion of an unmilitary people against institutions and laws formed by a century of war and the preparation for war.

'" Michael Barone of U. S. News & World Report praised How We Got Here, noting that " more than any other book … it shows how we came to be the way we are.

" John Podhoretz described it as " compulsively readable " and a " commanding amalgam of history, sociology and polemic.
