What They're Saying
Critics Review
Impassioned, scholarly and succinct – Dominic Maxwell * The Times *
The primer that we have been needing for some time * Areo magazine *
A fantastically timely book written by one of the smartest thinkers in Britain * Piers Morgan *
A powerful, timely and sadly necessary book * Richard Dawkins *
Doyle’s book is terse, restrained, and as carefully argued as a QC’s summing-up in a top-drawer courtroom drama … a beautifully balanced and comprehensive overview * The Critic *
