A brilliant exercise in unmasking liberal pretensions, surveying over three centuries with magisterial command of the sources. (In praise of Liberalism: A Counter-History) * Financial Times * Stimulatingly uncovers the contradictions of an ideology that is much too self-righteously invoked.

This is precisely why it should be considered one of the most important history books written since [.] 9-11. -- Ron Jacobs * CounterPunch *
