520    The author is well known as an astute and penetrating 
       observer of a dazzling array of subjects, not least 
       through his many contributions to the New York Review of 
       Books. This collection of his essays from the last decade 
       reveals his knack for ferreting out exceptional insights 
       into a troubled world, often on the basis of firsthand 
       experience. Whether he is writing about how "liberalism" 
       has become a dirty word in American political discourse, 
       the problems of Muslim assimilation in Europe, Ukraine's 
       Orange Revolution, Gunter Grass's membership in the Waffen
       -SS, or the angry youth of Iran, he combines a gimlet eye 
       for detail with deep knowledge of the history of his 
       chosen subjects. Running through this book is his 
       insistence that, whatever some postmodernists might claim,
       there are indeed facts, and we have both a political and a
       moral duty to establish them
