From Library Journal
This book is a critical evaluation of Russell's thought on politics and society and, above all, on war and peace. Sweeping over the full gamut of Russell's political thought, from his earliest book (on Marxism) in 1896 to his often hysterical criticisms of America during the Vietnam war, the narrative touches on religion, ethics, sex, marriage, child rearing, education, liberalism, socialism, nuclear disarmament, and world government. The writing is balanced and highly informedRyan is a professor of political science at Princetonrevealing how, despite some excesses, sympathy with the plight of mankind was always Russell's prime motivation. For general as well as academic collections. Leon H. Brody, U.S. Office of Personnel Management Lib., Washington, D.C.
