Recenzje

"Richard Falk continues to be one of the most dynamic, fearless and provocative public intellectuals in the world today and this joyous volume fully captures the many sides of his humanity. This is not only a difficult book to put down, it also will make the reader visit (and revisit) much of Falk's prodigious scholarship."
