PositiveNational Review...Krauthammer’s self-assurance never drifts into hubris. As important as the success of democracy is the survival of intellectual humility. This emphasis on humility...informs his entire politics ... along with democracy and humility, veneration of greatness permeates every chapter of this book—when he writes of history’s Great Men and America’s great acts but also of daily displays as well. He celebrates not those who acquire ever more comforts but those who persist through discomfort with quiet dignity. In an age that extols self-love and self-aggrandizement, he champions self-sacrifice and what he calls \'our stubborn little common human greatness.\'
