'Takes us through a daringly comprehensive argument ... the
simplicity and sheer readability of his writing and the lucidity
and humaneness of his overall position deserve, and will attract,
one hopes, a wide readership. For Wren, education in justice
consists in the development of a critical awareness of ourselves as
oppressor or oppressed in the unjust society . He shows us
something of what justice might be and why we should aspire to it.
He also offers vivid illustration of what injustice and cultural
oppression mean in the contemporary world' (Epworth Review). 'It is
a measure of Brian Wren's achievement that he has caused at least
one world-weary reader to think again about the possibility of
radical and effective political change. His analysis of
contemporary institutional oppression and our implication in it,
particularly in its damaging effect upon the Third World, is a
well-stated repetition of the socialist critique of the use and
abuse of power. The new thing here, however, is the tone of the
book: there is a calm and loving but utterly piercing description
of the pathology of power and the lengths to which we'll all go to
justify our share in it' (Church Times)
