Newt Gingrich, author of “Winning the Future: A 21st Century Contract with America,” (Regnery Publishing Inc.)

I am currently reading:

  • Lou Cannon’s “Governor Reagan: His Rise to Power”: an interesting study by a reporter who first began covering Reagan in 1965
  • David Hackett Fischer’s “Paul Revere’s Ride”: a brilliant analysis of the role of citizenship in training and arming the Massachusetts citizens who stood up to the British Army in April 1775
  • Francis S. Collins’ “The Language of God: A Scientist Presents Evidence for Belief”: a deeply moving account of the head of the human genome's project’s belief in God and how he brings together faith and science — a wonderful book
  • Andrew Mango’s “Ataturk: The Biography of the Founder of Modern Turkey”: a solid study of the most successful modernizer in Islam
  • Doris Kearns Goodwin’s “Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln”: a very solid study of how Lincoln emerged from obscurity and led his rivals in a cabinet that kept together the Union through our most bitter and painful war
  • Glen Reynolds’ “An Army of Davids”: a very insightful look at the power of personal computing to turn each individual into a David capable of defeating the Goliath of big government. Has enormous implications for rethinking government
