Summary
'His moral courage shines through from the start.' – Sunday Telegraph
The definitive edition of the late Sir Roger Scruton's philosophical and political essays and reviews, now collected in one volume.
The philosopher Roger Scruton was the leading conservative thinker of the post-war years. In this book are assembled the very best of his essays and commentaries, arranged thematically. The selection has been made and edited by Mark Dooley, Scruton’s literary executor.
Throughout this collection, Scruton proves himself to be at his most scintillating and controversial. He writes with passion and conviction about such varied topics as feminism, racism, fascism, Tony Blair and Donald Trump, as well as subjects like global warming, music and architecture. He takes aim at those who defy conservative common sense in favour of liberal falsehoods.
This book shows Scruton at his most brilliant and demonstrates how his influence will remain strong and enduring.

Extremely Irritating Narrator
If you want to listen to C3PO doing an impression of C3PO, then I imagine you’ll enjoy this recording a lot. If not, don’t bother!

Horrible narration for interesting writing
It’s like a children’s tv show where someone plays the part of what an American thinks a British person.
So incongruous with the ideas being expressed.

Eloquent to the end
I found this book moving to read/listen. The grace with which he writes/wrote allows one to understand and empathise even if one does not always completely agree with the statement or conclusion. He is the last of a dying breed and I have not found another of his like since. Excellent book, thoroughly recommend.

Nice writing style
Whilst I didn’t agree with everything, Roger Scruton has a nice writing style which is direct, thoughtful and moves at a nice pace.

Great book, awful narration
whilst the book is full of insight and sheer energy I found the narration somewhat lacking. Great shame
