What do Winston Churchill, Rosa Parks, Emile Zola, Billy Beane and
Christopher Hitchens have in common? They are all Contrarians. This
book is about the people who do not quietly slip into the shadows,
who revel in playing devil’s advocate, who zig when everyone else
zags and who dare ask the question: ‘Yes, but just supposing that
everyone else is wrong?’ They are not always successful all of
the time. In fact some are spectacularly unsuccessful on occasions.
They may not be popular or easy to live with, but are always
interesting and usually inspiring. Some make a point of arguing the
opposite point of view on every occasion; some are mainstream on
everything, but resolute in opposing the mainstream on one
particular issue. For some, the issue which they contest so
vigorously becomes mainstream through their exertions. In
Compendium of Contrarians, Robert Orr-Ewing shows how he has been
inspired by these amusing, challenging, interesting and unusual
characters.
