Review:
This may be the most important book of a new era...and is required reading for anyone who wants to understand fully the meaning of the late 20th Century. -- Peter Ackroyd
If ever a serious book deserved to become a bestseller, it is this. At last here is something, you think when you've finished it, that tells you what is going on in our minds and in the world. -- George Walden
