Arguably Conor Cruise O'Brien's most influential and admired book was this brilliant collection of essays - on history, literature and public affairs - first published in 1965. 'I can still remember the excitement with which I discovered a copy of Writers and Politics, in a provincial library in Devonshire thirty years ago. Nobody who tries to write about either of those subjects, or about 'the bloody crossroads' where they have so often met, can disown a debt to the Cruiser.' Christopher Hitchens, London Review of Books'When a liberal can write such pieces as 'Mercy and Mercenaries', 'Journal de Combat', 'Varieties of Anti-Communism', 'A New Yorker Critic', and 'Generation of Saints', an important voice has returned to our culture.'
