If you have a ring in your nose, a tongue stud, loads of tattoos, spiked hair, an overblown estimation of your own authenticity, no particular interest in America, and absolutely no ability to aid in her defense, D'Souza wants to talk with you.



That's a good line from Christopher Flannery's review of Dinesh D'Souza's What's So Great About America in the current issue of the Claremont Review of Books. Flannery's review, The Home Front: Left, Right, and (Elusive) Center, also includes consideration of books by Gore Vidal, William Bennett, and Roger Rosenblatt.



The Fall issue of the Claremont Review features The Path to Victory: A Symposium on the War in which five commentators -- William F. Buckley, Jr., Frank Gaffney, Mackubin T. Owens, Norman Podhoretz, and David Tucker -- assess Angelo M. Codevilla's ongoing "Victory Watch."
