“A work of moral passion and striking insight by America’s best foreign-affairs columnist.”
     -- Ronald Steel, biographer of Walter Lippmann.

“Occasionally in the world of current affairs, just very occasionally, there comes along a book with a clarity of intellect, a subtlety of language, and a confidence of tone which mark it out as a significant and essential addition to the bookshelf. Such a book is Pfaff’s Barbarian Sentiments.”
     -- Ian Davidson, The Financial Times.
