Heroic Conservatism Audiobook Summary
Michael Gerson, who worked with George W. Bush on his most inspiring speeches, is considered by many Democrats and Republicans to be the most influential White House speechwriter since the Kennedy administration. He was also more than a speechwriter, he was a trusted insider who helped shape policy.
In Heroic Conservatism Gerson uses his own experiences in the upper tier of the Bush White House to show why America needs a conservatism that is heroic in its aspirations–including “compassionate conservative” proposals to confront global AIDS, combat poverty in America, and promote human rights and dignity abroad–initiatives that Gerson fought for during his time in government.
Gerson has a unique ability to frame complex issues in a way that both challenges and inspires, and in Heroic Conservatism he delivers a new manifesto for the Republican Party and a fascinating memoir of a history-shaping Presidency.

An enlightening assessment, candid even if odic at times. He opens a window on the tip of the tip of the iceberg of governing in a national and global context. Although published in 2007, his final chapter is prescient of politcal realites a decade later.

Outstanding. Honest and inspirational, in a way that drives politically active people nuts. Gerson's argument is primarily moral, which doesn't go down easy in an area defined as "the art of compromise." But I find it difficult to argue with Gerson. I've read other critiques of his work, and those critiques are often thoughtful, scoring points at Gerson's expense, but fairly. Still, what a refreshing conviction Gerson brings to political problems, and what a great writer he is. I know his co-speech writers have attacked him in The Atlantic. That's unfortunate. It's clear that Gerson, who wrote this book and writes a column in the Washington Post, is a graceful essayist and opinion writer, even without the eloquent assistanced of others. The Washington Post recently reviewed this book negatively. The review, written by a well regarded Reagan biographer, was utterly unconvincing.I encourage everyone to pick this book up. You may hate it, you may passionately disagree with it, or, like me, you may love every word of it. But you won't find it listless or boring.
