Overview

In a foreword by Will Durst, Durst discusses his opinion of the situation. Durst says that despite the fact he is glad to see George W. Bush leave office, he will miss the political cartoons and humorous commentary about what he calls "Mr. Bush's Reign of Error".

The rest of the book is a collection of interviews by Kounalakis and Laufer about what will become of the United States in the fields of changes, war, the military, oil, business, economics, the environment, immigration, ethics, news media, church, state, culture, and men and women after the terms of George W. Bush as President of the United States.

Critical reception

Publishers Weekly said that Hope is a Tattered Flag was "unabashadly liberal", though it achieves its goal, which is "to offer ""satisfying and rich conversation"" that illuminates and unites."
