The 2017 Pulitzer Prize Winner for Commentary and conservative icon
Peggy Noonan offers her most insightful work, including her Wall
Street Journal columns about the 2016 Election.New York Times
bestseller The Time of Our Lives travels the path of Peggy Noonan's
remarkable and influential career, beginning with a revealing essay
about her motivations as a writer and thinker. It's followed by an
address to students at Harvard University on the drafting of
President Reagan's speech the day the space shuttle Challenger
exploded. Then comes one surprising chapter after the next
including: "People I Miss" -- memorable salutes to the likes of Tim
Russert, Joan Rivers, Margaret Thatcher, and others. "Making
Trouble" -- Peggy's sharpest, funniest and most critical columns
about Democrats and Republicans, the idiocracy of government, and
Beltway disconnect. "I Just Called to Say I Love You" -- Peggy's
most poignant writing capturing the country's grief and recovery in
the wake of 9-11, and clear-eyed foresight on what lay ahead in
terms of war and sacrifice. "The Loneliest President Since Nixon"
-- tracking hope and change as it became disillusionment and
disappointment with President Obama. And other sections where Peggy
discerns the mood of the country ("State of the Union"), the
melodrama of the historic 2008 election ("My Beautiful Election"),
her battles with the Catholic Church ("What I Told the Bishops")
and lighter meditations on baseball, a snowy afternoon in Brooklyn,
and motherhood ("Having Fun"). Annotated throughout, The Time of
Our Lives articulates Peggy's conservative vision, demonstrating
why she has been awarded the Pulitzer Prize, journalism's highest
honor.
