"A wise and
sensitive book.... Ignatieff has admirably used a cosmopolitan sensibility to
find what is recognizable and human in what, to him and to many of us, seems
most strange." - New York Newsday "A very anecdotal and essayistic ramble through a landscape of horror, grief and fanaticism ... vivid and deeply felt... absorbing" - Boston Sunday Globe "None of us should ignore this book. Its message is too important, too disturbing." - Times Educational Supplement (London) "An illuminating, empathetic journey ... a valuable first map of territory we should all be forced to explore before pretending we are above the futile hatreds, and have no unwitting hand in creating them." - The Ottawa Citizen "Anyone who looks with horror and disbelief at the ethnic hatred tearing apart so many countries today will be riveted ... an extraordinary accomplishment." - The Vancouver Sun "[A] beautifully written elegy for civilization." - Ottawa Sun "A concise, intelligent eyewitness critique of a half-dozen of the more virulent post-Cold War patriotisms extant." - Stan Persky, The Globe and Mail |
