This is an excellent book by an educated man, in the classical sense of the word, for an educated audience. It is about the distortion of language and fact; it is about ethics and morality and their importance in constructing strong communities (civilisation); it is about the politicisation of education and the detrimental effects of such an approach. The weak minded, the illogical, the irrational and the confused will stumble and falter with this book because it is confrontational. The confrontation is between fact and what pretends to be fact, what is real and what is fake. For the first time in a long time we can read what is the truth rather than "my truth". I loved it.
