Reviews

I read Professor Doyle's essays with great interest. These essays on the world from antipodal perspectives, combining careful scholarship with close inquiry into contemporary events, yield significant insights into leading themes of the modern era. It is a valuable and revealing study.

This is Randall Doyle's bold and ingenious attempt to find common ground between the little-known island of Tasmania in Australia and the giant military power which is the United States. His sharp critique of American foreign policy, and his study of the Green Party in Tasmania would seem to have little in common, but Doyle finds in both situations an admirable striving for liberty, and a willingness of the people to challenge the power-holders in a search for peace and justice.
