Book SynopsisTrade Review"One of Bloomberg’s Best Nonfiction Books of 2021"
"Shortlisted for the Gladstone Book Prize, Royal Historical Society"
"Shortlisted for the ECPR Political Theory Prize, European Consortium for Political Research"
"[A] path-breaking study. . . . The hitherto unexplored relationship between these two giants is fascinating not just for its simmering acrimony but because, as a pair, they are as much alike as they are antipodes."
---Norman Lebrecht, Wall Street Journal"An impeccably researched work, providing lucid explanation of the political thought of both Arendt and Berlin, and successfully brings the arguments of both (and their flaws) into sharp relief."
---Caroline Ashcroft, Perspectives on Politics"The tone of the book is thoughtful and equable; the writing is admirably clear; and Hiruta certainly provides a fair and detailed chronology of the Arendt/Berlin encounters and of Berlin’s various expressions of hostility."
---Jeremy Waldron, Society"Contextualized, dialogical, and even-handed."
---Richard Shorten, The Review of Politics"Historically careful and theoretically rich."
---Shmuel Lederman, German Studies Review"[An] even-handed study. . . .The book sheds a great deal of light on the protagonists and on essential historical and political issues so significant for our time." * Paradigm Explorer *
