Praise for The Activist

The Activist by Daniel Fried is one of those rare creative works that combine meticulous scholarly research with literary sensibilities and concerns about the world we are living in. The book brings the ancient Chinese Daoist ideas to bear on issues of social activism in contemporary America in a surprisingly intriguing and relevant form and makes very enjoyable reading.
