"A series of brief essays that deftly and pungently dissect the ills of contemporary society. . . Mr. Lukacs is especially adept at shattering idols and at demolishing shibboleths. There are occasional flashes of brilliant insights interspersed in the various essays. The ideas expounded by the author are provocative, challenging, and controversial." ~ Jules Davids - World Affairs
