From Library Journal
In content and coverage this collection of columns by this former New Yorker writer is almost identical to his The Time of Illusion (Knopf, 1976). Undoubtedly they were the original sources for that book. The columns have worn better than the book; they give the reader a taste of the heat of those turbulent years. Schell's lucid yet passionate criticisms of the conduct of the U.S. war in Vietnam and the misdeeds of the Nixon administration are based on what he felt were threats to both the constitutional process (with Nixon going above the law) and the integrity of language (the government only caring that their press communications were credible, if not truthful). His columns are a model of informed dissent in a democratic system.

From Publishers Weekly
"In this collection of more than 100 pieces, New Yorker writer Schell analyzes and interrelates the conduct of the war in Vietnam, the Nixon administration's Southeast Asian policy and Watergate," wrote PW . "Remarkable in penetration and with prophetic insight, the articles reflect broodingly upon the major issues of that era."
