At times of global crisis, Jonathan Schell's writings have always
presented nuanced and influential alternatives to conventional
thinking. The moral clarity of his reportage first entered the
public consciousness with his dispatches for The New Yorker on
Vietnam. These seminal articles became The Village of Ben Suc
(1967), a searing account that predicted the failure of Pentagon
politics. Over the subsequent decades, Schell's varied and
consistently prescient articles have articulated the now commonly
held notion that image has replaced substance in politics; provided
(in Fate of the Earth) an apocalyptic vision of nuclear war that
revitalized the disarmament movement; and more recently, charted
the rise of "the other superpower"-the international peace movement
that transcends country, class, and religion. As America finds
itself at a crucial juncture both domestically and internationally,
The Jonathan Schell Reader is vital reading for those who wish to
better understand the history they have come from and the direction
they should be heading toward. This book provides a landmark
collection that spans the career of one of the leading thinkers and
authors of our time.
