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.' Raymond Williams, Guardian
