Recensioner i media

"...one of 40 notable titles in the newspaper's [Chicago Tribune] listing of 'favorites from the past year.'" —Notre Dame Report". . . Schmuhl's appeal for reason and moderation is a salutary one, and Indecent Liberties provides a quietly refreshing respite in the midst of the confusion and cacophony of contemporary American life." —Chicago Tribune"In Indecent Liberties, Robert Schmuhl wisely suggests that we remember the value of moderation. But, happily, he is immoderate when it comes to offering us intelligence, sharp insight, and independence of mind. At a time when so much commentary lives on polarization and exaggeration, Schmuhl is a national treasure. This book is a trove of some of his best thinking and writing." —E. J. Dionne, Jr., Syndicated Columnist, Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution, and author of Why Americans Hate Politics and They Only Look Dead: Why Progressives Will Dominate the Next Political Era"Professor Schmuhl is one of the nation's most insightful observers of the media, politics, and government." —Marc Racicot, Governor of Montana"In Indecent Liberties, Robert Schmuhl wisely suggests that we remember the value of moderation. But, happily, he is immoderate when it comes to offering us intelligence, sharp insight, and independence of mind. At a time when so much commentary lives on polarization and exaggeration, Schmuhl is a national treasure. This book is a trove of some of his best thinking and writing."
