Enlightening : letters, 1946-1960

Berlin, Isaiah, 1909-19972009
Books, Manuscripts
This second volume of Isaiah Berlin's letters takes up the story when, after war service in the United States, he returns to life as an Oxford don. Berlin's visits to American universities, where he sees McCarthyism at work, and his journeys eastward, inspire acute and often very funny pen-pictures.
