SUMMARY
"As gadfly against the smug Comrade Blimpse of the left, this important, symptomatic, and widely hailed book is a necessary counterbalance. However, its outworn Old Guard antithesis to the outworn Marxist thesis is not the liberty security synthesis the future cries for. Some day, being intelligent and earnest, Buckley may give us the hard-won wisdom of synthesis. For that, he will first need to add, to his existing virtues, three new ones: sensitivity, compassion, and an inkling of the tragic paradoxes of la condition humaine."Buckley, William F., Jr. is the author of 'God and Man at Yale The Superstitions of "Academic Freedom"', published 2004 under ISBN 9780895266927 and ISBN 089526692X.
