Reviews
-
'A rollicking defence of Freedom and Enlightenment in the style of Tom Paine or William Godwin'
Spectator
-
'The even-handed tone of philosophy professor AC Grayling's latest book does not lessen the intensity of its polemical content ... In describing the human cost of each victory over these forces, Grayling underlines the seriousness of today's threats to our liberties'
Metro
-
'Grayling covers a huge historical and geographical span, he has done an impressive amount of reading, and he tells some fascinating stories'
Independent on Sunday
-
'Grayling charts the progress of liberty from its modern roots in the Reformation through the end of absolute monarchy to contemporary conventions on human rights, pointing out every bloodstain on the way'
