Review:

Like it or not, we need Tom Friedman. ...By and large [he] gets the big issues right. "The Washington Post Cover Review"

Required Reading "Business Week"

A compelling manifesto that deserves a wide reading, especially by members of Congress and candidates for President. "The Boston Globe"

"New York Times" columnist and globalization exponent Thomas Friedman pleads for Americans to wake up to the perils and opportunities of an emerging resource-strapped world. The author comes across as a blend of Will Rogers, Jack Welch and Norman Vincent Peale--a plain-spoken citizen outraged at the bullheadedness of U.S. politicians, yet optimistic about the power of ingenuity and finely crafted policy to avert disaster. "Newsweek""
