William Pfaf, often said to be America's leading commentator on
foreign affairs, wrote in a review of "Conundrums of Humanity" in
"Prospect" magazine, "When Jonathan Power told a friend that the
book he was writing was meant to solve 11 of the most formidable
contemporary threats to peace and human rights, the friend replied
that Power must be bidding for the Nobel prize. George Bernard Shaw
once said that all progress depends on the unreasonable man. The
reasonable man adapts himself to the world as it is, but the
unreasonable man is determined to change it. This book is filled
with reason, good sense and optimism. His is a powerful statement
of ways to make the world better. He is unreasonably good, as
demonstrated by his commitment to the developing world, the
fortunes of the poor, the defense of human rights, and his devotion
to the society's progress. Is that worth the Nobel prize. I say,
why not?"
"Conundrums of Humanity" covers the 'clash of civilizations',
nuclear disarmament, war, hunger, human rights, human development,
the future of Africa, the United Nations, and China and India's
rise and rivalry.
