Critics Review
Publisher’s description. The historic account of a once-in-a-lifetime meeting between four of the modern world’s most influential figures: NSA whistle-blower Edward Snowden, Pentagon Papers whistle-blower Daniel Ellsburg, tireless political activist Arundhati Roy and Hollywood superstar John Cusack. * Penguin *
Arundhati Roy is one of the most confident and original thinkers of our time * Naomi Klein *
A political critique of everything … the book will make you sit up and question things * Financial Express *
[Roy is] an electrifying political essayist… . So fluent is her prose, so keen her understanding of global politics, and so resonant her objections to nuclear weapons, assaults against the environment, and the endless suffering of the poor that her essays are as uplifting as they are galvanizing * Booklist *
The fierceness with which Arundhati Roy loves humanity moves my heart * Alice Walker, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of THE COLOR PURPLE *
