Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Late last year, more people seemed concerned about Gingrich's $4.5 million contract with his publisher than his contract with America. He has since given up the advance, but he doubtless won't be giving up on any of the radically conservative ideas that have put him in the spotlight.
Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


From Booklist

HarperCollins wasn't about to send out advance review copies of the most-blabbed-about book of the year, and why should it? For the tome is also the most redundant book of the year; if you've attended to Gingrich's speeches about his program for fixing America by lowering taxes, shrinking government, and riding the Tofflers' third wave into a prosperous future, the book sounds awfully familiar. Considering the man's success at grabbing the political spotlight, the book is a must for public libraries, and there's this bonus: Gingrich's book-name-dropping habit may help boost overall circulation.

5.0 out of 5 stars The book that turned me around, March 22, 1999
By A Customer
Before reading this book, I had all sorts of notions about conservatives in general and Newt Gingrich in particular. However, my viewpoint has been radically changed after reading this book. Gingrich's conservative message makes sense and it contains none of the anti-poor, anti-environment, pro-rich bias for which conservatives are frequently accused. I have found Gingrich to be someone who genuinely cares about America, with compassion defined not by the status quo handout, but rather by giving people a fair shake at the American Dream. For me, this book also provoked anger - not towards Gingrich or conservatives - but towards Democrats and the media for unfairly demonizing Gingrich and corrupting the true intent of his ideas. While I'm not so naïve as to think this book will persuade liberals to become conservatives, I do believe that it will dispel many of the myths and falsehoods surrounding Gingrich and his ideas for renewing America.

5.0 out of 5 stars Renewing the dream of the future., May 13, 2001
By A Customer
It is regretful that Newt Gingrich had to become a casualty in the political battles of the 90's. He has an outstanding mind for the future and strongly argues for our leading the way in so many issues. I highly recommend this book. Even though some of it's content may be dated, the message for moving towards the future, not fighting it by continuing down paths that have proven to be bumpy at best, will give you a sense of hope for what has been accomplished and just how much more we are capable of. Bottom line, give Newt a look, you just may be suprised.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gingrich renewed this country, not Clinton, July 5, 2001
By ray (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
The ideas in this book are the reason, along with the premise of the Contract with America, why we in America enjoy a superb economy, lower crime, a balanced budget, and unparalleled freedom. These were the ideas Gingrich brought to Congress; a Congress which hadn't had any kind of new ideas for almost five decades.

The major themes of this book are about implementing limited, common sense government, having faith in the local community to make decisions and solve problems, using personal responsibility, and shifting power from the federal government to the people.

To my surprise, Gingrich talks of his love of animals and the environment with great detail in this book. To listen to the media and left-wing journalists, one would think Gingrich only cared about drilling for oil in Yellowstone national park. Read his book and you'll see it's not true.
