About this book
Reviews
From the reviews of Enemies of Hope:
'Tallis...is a high achiever with a range of expertise that would leave Jonathan Miller gasping' - Walter Eltis, The Sunday Times
'As its title and length indicate, this is a Big Book. It is written, nevertheless, in a clear, accessible, unpretentious and often witty style. And as anyone familiar with Raymond Tallis's other similar works knows, it has important things to say..
...there is about his panoptic sweep an intrepidity, a candour and open-mindedness, a gameness for anything, a total lack of vanity or self-importance, and a generous hatred of cant, that are extremely engaging. Every page of Enemies of Hope is lit by its author's characteristic wisdom and luminous intelligence, and by flashes of novel, striking insight. That alone is an much as to say, read it.' - Robert Grant, The Times Literary Supplement
'Brilliantly argued and with a wide range of erudition' - Nicholas Kochan, The Financial Times
