Editorial Review:
John Wayne’s words were as powerful as the six-guns he wore on his hips. On and off screen, he spoke in declarative, often blunt sentences to express what he meant. This book presents an articulation of wisdom from an icon of the Old Right, fascinating for its probity and sincerity. The compilation is a challenge to so-called Conservatives and a valuable reference regardless of the reader’s political ideology.
The John Wayne Code Reviews:
Remembering the way it felt 
2009-06-17 - No one can say it like the Duke. For those of us old enough to remember how it was to say it straight, this will bring a smile and maybe even a tear. It'll also make you wonder how life got so complicated. A must for those who need a simple, easy read and remembrance.
Please! 
2006-12-16 - Please! Someone send a copy of this book to George W. Bush. NOW!
Clever
2006-12-14 - This clever little book can be read from two points of view. The first, and I suspect the way it was intended, is to compare the words of an old-school Conservative with the rhetoric of today's ideological phonies. The second, is to get to know the real John Wayne -- not in a 300-page biography -- but in his own plain-spoken words. Both on and off screen quotes are divided into sections: "Philosophy," "On Himself," "On His Profession," "On the Cowboy," "On the Sexes," "On Faith," "On Politics, and "On Country." Highly recommended reading on both counts.
Not worth your money! 
2006-12-06 - The book is 4 or 5 pages of writing about John Wayne's conservatism mixed with commentary about Bush's 'troubled' presidency, and finishes with a bunch of John Wayne quotes. One quote per page for the remainder of the mini-book. 6 inches by 6 inches square...and no page numbers, so I'm guessing 70 or 80 pages. It's less about John Wayne and more about how the editor is using current politics and John Wayne's name to make money. If you're looking for something on John Wayne, as I was, don't buy this.
