Burke supported the American revolution but fought against the French. With his major work Reflections on the Revolution in France, written in 1790, he attacked the revolution and its rationalism and at the same time created a weapon for the counter revolution in England.

With his critically acclaimed bestselling memoir,. This Just In, Bob Schieffer proved a natural storyteller,. a gifted writer able to capture current. affairs, television news—and himself—with remarkable wit and. insight. It is a gift he has also been able to bring to his awardwinning. commentaries for Face the Nation. No one had done commentaries for CBS since Eric Sevareid’s. retirement in 1977, when, in April 1994, Schieffer decided. his show that week on the death of Richard Nixon needed a few. closing words to put the subject into context. The reaction was. overwhelmingly positive, and he has been doing them ever since. Bob Schieffer’s America brings together 168 of his best essays,. pieces that cover a broad range: from the hard issues of today to. the human stories that show us who we are; from politics. and presidents and tragedy to the things that touch us, make. us laugh, or reveal the small shifts in our culture that sometimes. just creep up on us. Smart, humorous, commonsensical, pitch-perfect—sometimes. bitingly critical and plainspoken, other times suffused. with wonder or delight—these essays speak to us all. “My objective,” says Schieffer, “has never been to convert. someone to my way of thinking, but merely to provoke thought,. to explain a complicated subject, or to call attention to a human. foible. The greatest compliment to me is not when viewers. write to say they agree with my conclusion, but when they say,. ‘I really never thought of it that way before.’”. In addition to these outstanding essays, Schieffer has written. a wealth of brand-new material—“commentaries on my. commentaries”—that run throughout the book, offering further. anecdotes, reflections, updates, and insights. In all, it is as Jim. Lehrer described This Just In: “A delight, a joy—a treasure.” more...
