From the DJ: "Senor De Madariaga is well-known as the enemy of complacent and slipshod thinking: with apparently effortless ease, he will set up a premise, knock it down, tear it to pieces-and then lovingly restore it to its pedestal in a new shape or poised at a new angle. In this present book of essays, he applies his powers of reasoning and wit to a wide variety of subjects, all of which are a frequent topic of modern day discussion.".
