For Crick,politics is messy and complex, and his book defends it against those who would identify it with (and reduce it to) ideology, democracy, nationalism, or technology.This Fourth edition has been updated to include an assessment of the revolutions in 1989 inEastern Europe. It also examines current situations in Northern Ireland, Israel and Palestine,and South Africa.A short book written with verve and brilliance. . . . He has written an exceedingly clever anddisturbing book on important issues, all that he writes is alive and much of what he says, even when it seems perversely provocative, turns out to be penetrating and serious.Isaiah Berlin, 20th CenturyOne of the most thoughtful products of the political dialogues of the London School ofEconomics since the great days of Tawney, Dalton, Wallas and Hobhouse. Its sobriety,liberal spirit and toughness of mind are rare qualities in any political work.Edward Shils, Guardian
