Henry Fairlie was one of the most colorful and trenchant journalists of the twentieth century. The British-born writer made his name on Fleet Street, where he coined the term "The Establishment," sparred in print with the likes of Kenneth Tynan, and caroused with Kingsley Amis, among many others. In America his writing found a home in the pages of the New Yorker and other top magazines and newspapers. When he died, he was remembered as "quite simply the best political journalist, writing in English, in the last fifty years." Remarkable for their prescience and relevance, Fairlie's essays celebrate Winston Churchill, old-fashioned bathtubs, and American empire; they ridicule Republicans who think they are conservatives and yuppies who want to live forever. Fairlie is caustic, controversial, and unwavering-especially when attacking his employers. With an introduction by Jeremy McCarter, Bite the Hand That Feeds You restores a compelling voice that, among its many virtues, helps Americans appreciate their country anew.

Review:
"McCarter offers Fairlie in full, as far as is probably possible."-Sean Wilentz, Princeton University

"I read Bite the Hand That Feeds You. And I''m better and wiser for it. . . . It would have been nice to have had Henry Fairlie around during the Cheney presidency. It''s a comfort to have the next best thing." - Tim Heffernan, Esquire.com -- Esquire.com
