Media Reviews
[Gertrude Himmelfarb's] belief in the importance of politics can be instructive to all stripes of opinion...Written in a clear, direct style, free of jargon, these essays are emphatic, polemical, cogently argumentative, and very close to the kind of discourse that Himmelfarb finds sorely lacking in the discipline of history as practiced today. -- Merle Rubin Christian Science Monitor
