Reviews for Decade of Denial
It is high time that we had any book of this nature from Herbert London. His outstanding record as an academic, as an aspirant public official, and now as head of his enormously influential foundation betokened the need to hear him explicate his ideas, which he has done here so successfully and eloquently.
