It is very much worth it to read Revel's Anti-Americanism. He's no 'deconstructionist.' He writes like Thomas Sowell -- very simply and clearly but with devastating force. Only very, very intelligent, skillful writers write this way.

I have read that when Revel's book Without Marx or Jesus came out, the intellectual elites in France and the U.S. didn't like it, gave it bad marks. But what is interesting, especially for France, is that it became very popular in both countries. It may be that the common people of France would like to hear more of reality and less of the socialists' fantasies.

Who needs book reviewers when we have the intellectual elites? Whatever they like, avoid. Whatever they hate is probably the truth. Works for me.
