By any measure Solzhenitsyn's commencement address at Harvard was a historic statement, and it was so treated by the American press. But much of the comment in the media was confused and superficial. This study is an effort to place Solzhenitsyn's ideas in historical, political, and philosophical perspective. The speech itself makes up Part One of the book. Part two offers a sampling of the comments that appeared in major newspapers and magazines, including those of George F. Will, Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. Archibald MacLeish, James Reston, and Mary McGrory. Part three consists of six reflective essays from various perspectives on Solzhenitsyn's ideas and judgements. Ronald Berman, a literary scholar, relates Solzhenitsyn to other modern writers. Sidney Hook provides a philosophical perspective on the speech. Harold J. Berman, a legal expert, analyzes Solzhenitsyn's conception of Western Law. Russian specialist Richard Pipes places the speech in the context of Russian intellectual and political history. Historian William H. McNeill challenges Solzhenitsyn's understanding of the West. And theologian Michael Novak deals with his religious ideas.

This book offers a holistic account of the problems posed by freedom of expression in our current times and offers corrective measures to allow for a more genuine exchange of ideas within the global society. The topic of free speech is rarely addressed from a historical, philosophical, or theological perspective. In The Collapse of Freedom of Expression, Jordi Pujol explores both the modern concept of the freedom of expression based on the European Enlightenment and the deficiencies inherent in this framework. Modernity has disregarded the traditional roots of the freedom of expression drawn from Christianity, Greek philosophy, and Roman law, which has left the door open to the various forms of abuse, censorship, and restrictions seen in contemporary public discourse. Pujol proposes that we rebuild the foundations of the freedom of expression by returning to older traditions and incorporating both the field of pragmatics of language and theological and ethical concepts on human intentionality as new, complementary disciplines. Pujol examines emblematic cases such as Charlie Hebdo, free speech on campus, and online content moderation to elaborate on the tensions that arise within the modern concept of freedom of expression. The book explores the main criticisms of the contemporary liberal tradition by communitarians, libertarians, feminists, and critical race theorists, and analyzes the gaps and contradictions within these traditions. Pujol ultimately offers a reconstruction project that involves bridging the chasm between the secular and the sacred and recognizing that religion is a font of meaning for millions of people, and as such has an inescapable place in the construction of a pluralist public sphere.

The Sword and the Shield is based on one of the most extraordinary intelligence coups of recent times: a secret archive of top-level KGB documents smuggled out of the Soviet Union which the FBI has described, after close examination, as the "most complete and extensive intelligence ever received from any source." Its presence in the West represents a catastrophic hemorrhage of the KGB's secrets and reveals for the first time the full extent of its worldwide network. Vasili Mitrokhin, a secret dissident who worked in the KGB archive, smuggled out copies of its most highly classified files every day for twelve years. In 1992, a U.S. ally succeeded in exfiltrating the KGB officer and his entire archive out of Moscow. The archive covers the entire period from the Bolshevik Revolution to the 1980s and includes revelations concerning almost every country in the world. But the KGB's main target, of course, was the United States. Though there is top-secret material on almost every country in the world, the United States is at the top of the list. As well as containing many fascinating revelations, this is a major contribution to the secret history of the twentieth century. Among the topics and revelations explored are: The KGB's covert operations in the United States and throughout the West, some of which remain dangerous today. KGB files on Oswald and the JFK assassination that Boris Yeltsin almost certainly has no intention of showing President Clinton. The KGB's attempts to discredit civil rights leader in the 1960s, including its infiltration of the inner circle of a key leader. The KGB's use of radio intercept posts in New York and Washington, D.C., in the 1970s to intercept high-level U.S. government communications. The KGB's attempts to steal technological secrets from major U.S. aerospace and technology corporations. KGB covert operations against former President Ronald Reagan, which began five years before he became president. KGB spies who successfully posed as U.S. citizens under a series of ingenious disguises, including several who attained access to the upper echelons of New York society.

Writer and critic Montgomery finds a common ground among Robert Frost, Alexander Solzhenitsyn and political philosopher Eric Voegelin, in what he calls active participation in a tradition of regionalism. In the book's central essay, Montgomery pays tribute to the poetry of Ezra Pound while calling into question the beliefs that underpin it. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
