Excellent ... Phillips-Fein has chosen her cast of characters well ... Where this leaves the rest of us is nowhere good, but Phillips-Fein argues that hope is more essential than ever.
Impeccably crafted ... She keeps Country of Lords lean and supple, allowing her characters and anecdotes to shine ... Phillips-Fein is a graceful writer and balletic thinker; her opening paragraph tucked me into its palm and held me rapt, right through to its conclusion. Her book is slender, only 200 pages, but her argument has vast implications for the future of the nation-state.
