- Fareed Zakaria: “This week's "Book of the Week" is Bret Stephens, "America in Retreat." It's an exceptionally intelligent, well written book filled with interesting data and analysis that's well worth reading and I don't even agree with most of it. Stephens has been on our show often. He's fast becoming the most influential conservative writer on foreign policy. So read it to your delight, or to hone your best arguments against it.”
