The moral clarity of his reportage first entered the public consciousness with his dispatches for \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker \u003c\/i\u003eon 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, \u003ci\u003e The Jonathan Schell Reader\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Schell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1560254076\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781560254072\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bold Type Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/30\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIngram Advance\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2005 pg. 95","brand":"Jonathan Schell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939635888383,"sku":"9781560254072","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_f408d87a-a18d-4db5-85ac-9ed01f18b0c5.jpg?v=1681442645","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-jonathan-schell-reader-jonathan-schell-9781560254072","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
