The Intellectual Resistance in Europe

“Wilkinson has illuminated in a subtle and perceptive way a crucial period of European intellectual history.”—James Joll, The New Republic

“James D. Wilkinson’s thought-provoking and richly detailed book tells how the war acted as a catalyst for this group, leading them into an intense period of self-examination.”—Kenneth Noble, The New York Times Book Review

“Crisply written and well organized, his book has a swift pace… Wilkinson’s summaries inspire confidence, just as his unobtrusive critical comments offer useful benchmarks.”—Jim Miller, Salmagundi

“This first work promises a brilliant career… Wilkinson’s book is tight-knit, well-organized and structured, and couched in remarkably graceful and lucid prose. Indeed, for lucidity I can only compare it with the writing of Stuart Hughes… I think that a great many readers will turn to this study as the most thoughtful and enlightening account of an important though frustrating episode in intellectual history.”—Gordon Wright
