Review:
"[Ferguson's] intellectual virtuosity is refreshing. "The Great Degeneration" won't be popular in the Obama White House or other centers of power. Jeremiah wasn't popular with the elders of Judea either. They tossed him in jail for his sedition. They had reason later to be sorry." --"The Wall Street Journal"
"An informative and enjoyable read." --"Financial Times"
