Comeback: Conservatism that Can Win Again Hardcover – 31 Dec. 2007
Purchase options and add-ons
Not in a generation has conservatism been in as much trouble as it is at the end of the Bush years. A majority of Americans say the country is on the wrong track. Voters prefer Democrats over Republicans on almost every issue, including taxes. The married, the middle-class, the native-born are dwindling as a share of the population, while Democratic blocs are rising. A generation of young people has turned its back on the Republican party.
Too many conservatives and Republicans have shut their eyes to negative trends. David Frum offers answers.
Frum says that the ideas that won elections for conservatives in the 1980s have done their job. Republicans can no longer win elections on taxes, guns, and promises to restore traditional values. Its time now for a new approach, including:
A conservative commitment to make private-sector health insurance available to every American
Lower taxes on savings and investment financed by higher taxes on energy and pollution
Federal policies to encourage larger families
Major reductions in unskilled immigration
A genuinely compassionate conservatism, including a conservative campaign for prison reform and government action against the public health disaster of obesity
A new conservative environmentalism that promotes nuclear power in place of coal and oil
Higher ethical standards inside the conservative movement and the Republican party
A renewed commitment to expand and rebuild the armed forces of the United Statesto crush terrorismand get ready for the coming challenge from China
Frums previous bestselling books have earned accolades for their courage and creativity from liberals and conservatives alike. Today, with the conservative movement and the Republican Party facing their greatest danger since Watergate, Frum has again stepped forward with new ideas to take conservatismand Americainto a new century of greatness.

All in all a pretty tired formula. Just a clever guy who was in the right place at the right time a lot of the time. There have got to be more interesting self-publicists out there somewhere. I was also left wondering just how many people would admire this guy if he hadn't made a big pile of money.
Buy at your peril. This man suffers from an exaggerated sense of self importance. Not even suitable for lighting fires > a complete damp squib.
