"Sullivan has been more honest and open-minded than just about anybody else on the right... He has continued to think of himself as a 
conservative. And he has been forced to ask himself the question that many conservatives have been forced to ask themselves: If I am a conservative, and I detest many of the things this conservative administration has been doing, then what kind of conservative am I and what kind of conservatives are they? " - David Brooks, New York Times.
conservative. And he has been forced to ask himself the question that many conservatives have been forced to ask themselves: If I am a conservative, and I detest many of the things this conservative administration has been doing, then what kind of conservative am I and what kind of conservatives are they? " - David Brooks, New York Times."This book is not a worked-out political program but an unfinished account of Mr Sullivan's own struggle to integrate and make sense of his faith and his politics. What Mr Sullivan has to say about these subjects - indeed what he has to say about most things - is interesting, elegantly expressed and deeply thought through. The Conservative Soul is peculiar and inconclusive, but it is also intellectually challenging and thoroughly captivating," - The Economist.
