COMEBACK Conservatism That Can Win Again

At a time when much of the nation thinks the government is on the wrong track, David Frum, an avowed ideologue, examines the current state of the Conservative movement and offers suggestions for improvement. Arguing that the successful positions of the 1980s are no longer viable, Frum redefines the issues and offers Republican Conservatives a game plan for a comeback to political power. Lloyd James gives a clear and easy-to-follow reading of the text. This no-frills presentation is an advantage as Frum's analysis of past mistakes and proposals for future actions become a bit convoluted. James's tone remains matter-of-fact even when the text tends a bit toward whininess. He conveys a wry humor that keeps his performance from being a straight reading.
