"A miracle occurs in this short book: it is as though Plato has somehow returned from the dead and commented on our time in a dialogue with his best pupil. This dialogue on the Platonic topic of justice in politics is an instant classic; compulsive reading for everyone who wants to search for truth in our era of opinions and alternative facts."
