DESCRIPTION:
"Steyn strikes again, with acerbic humor and razor-sharp insight" according to Peter Lorenzi. With four hundred fifteen pages, sixteen sections (plus introduction and postscript), more than eighty columns (The Audacity of Grope, Did the Earth Summit Move for You? My Sahria Amour, A Town with Pity, Only the Clonely), and more puns and turn of a phrase than anyone can count, Mark Steyn continues to delight readers while raising concerns about the direction of America, western civilization, and democracy in this century. The future is not pretty, at least it will be if we continue down our current path, a path that Steyn has aptly described, cataloged and skewered for more than fifteen years. Acknowledging that this is a collection of p. "He's afflicting the comfortable in the fine tradition of Jeremiah and Amos" according to John Paul Harmon. Steyn is a broad observer of life. As a commentator on the world, he is set apart by his "taking" writing style, hard work, and ability to summarily weave together a dozen different technical and cultural threads into a plausible metastory that actually gets read broadly. He's afflicting the comfortable in the fine tradition of Jeremiah and Amos, and his predictions (from his earlier work, and in some of the older columns in this book) about the future seem to be conservative in that he usually can't seem to actually forsee that things will change as fast as they in fact do change. But for the future's general direction his articles have no . Dieter Ballmann said If you like him on the radio; then you'll enjoy the book.. I always enjoyed hearing Mr. Steyn on the radio. His brand of wit and political satire keep my attention, no matter what the subject matter is. The book is a compilation of past writings in various publications. Some are very good; some are so-so. The basic structure is very similar to Charles Krauthammer's bit hit "Things That Matter." Both men are brilliant in their professions which is probably why liberals and progressives rarely challenge them face to face on a disputed issue.
Whether he's sounding off on the tyranny of political correctness, the existential threat of Islamic extremism, the "nationalization" of the family, or the "near suicidal stupidity" of America's immigration regime, Steyn is always provocative - and often laugh-out-loud hilarious. The Undocumented Mark Steyn gathers Steyn's best columns in a timeless and indispensable guide to the end of the world as we know it.. For decades, Mark Steyn has dazzled audiences around the world with his raucous wit and brutal honesty. He's brash, brilliant, and drawn to controversy like a moth to a flame
