“It will be a tragedy of inestimable proportions for the American people if that great nation eats its own legendary commitment to freedom from within. Equally, to lose the leadership of the world’s most powerful champion of liberty would be truly dangerous for non-Americans everywhere in these increasingly unsettled times. Os Guinness has gifted us magnificently with the insights and understanding of a lifetime in this book, which really needs to be read—urgently—across the length and breadth of the world.”
John Anderson, deputy prime minister of Australia 1999–2005
“Os Guinness has stood as a beacon of eloquence and insight. In a host of important books, he has chronicled the struggle of those who resist the modern world’s descent into carnival culture. Last Call for Liberty is his masterwork—an urgent guide that leads out of the maze America has wandered into. For those who seek to understand the best of freedom’s vital gifts, Guinness is the master class leader.”
Shelby Coffey III, vice chairman of the Newseum and former editor of the Los Angeles Times
“A timely and important book from one of the most insightful observers of American society and politics. Guinness argues that America’s future depends on learning the right lessons from America’s past. Provocative without being incendiary. Sobering without being gloomy. Inspiring without being glib.”
Peter Feaver, professor of political science at Duke University
“With moral clarity and a deep sense of history, Os Guinness discerns the taproot of America’s republican achievement as well as the forces that threaten to tear it asunder. In this penetrating critique of American democracy, Guinness emerges as the English voice of Alexis de Tocqueville—and not a moment too soon. Perhaps only an Englishman could deliver such a powerful reminder to Americans about why their revolution in human liberty has succeeded where others have failed. Against the prophets of gloom, Last Call for Liberty charts a pathway toward American renewal rooted in a bracing vision of human freedom.”
Joseph Loconte, associate professor of history at The King’s College in New York City, author of God, Locke, and Liberty: The Struggle for Religious Freedom in the West
“If you care about the future of America—no matter where you are on the political spectrum—then do yourself a favor and read this book. I believe you will be encouraged to look at America in a new light, and hopefully all who love her will find a new energy to make her healthy again and keep her strong. Freedom-loving people everywhere will be grateful you did.”
