PRAISE FOR THE CASE FOR LIBERALISM IN AN AGE OF EXTREMISM "Alan Dershowitz's new book succeeds in connecting the most fundamental questions in the theory of liberalism with the practical challenges we face day to day as we deal with Covid-19 and its effects on all areas of our life. In doing so it gives the reader food for thought--and action ." --NATAN SHARANSKY, ISRAELI POLITICIAN, HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVIST AND AUTHOR; US PRESIDENTIAL MEDAL OF FREEDOM RECIPIENT "Alan Dershowitz powerfully advocates the fundamental precept that civil liberties and constitutional rights must be protected for all individuals and groups, even those whose beliefs we reject and condemn, lest we endanger freedoms for everyone. He persuasively champions liberalism as promoting this core but embattled tenet. " -- NADINE STROSSEN, FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE NATIONAL ACLU; PROFESSOR AT NEW YORK LAW SCHOOL "Alan Dershowitz is an unapologetic liberal. In The Case for Liberalism in an Age of Extremism , Dershowitz charts out the characteristics of classical liberalism, explains the danger in embracing intolerant and divisive isms attached to any label, and situates his decades of justice work in that tradition. Smart, incisive, and a must-read. " --RONALD S.


SULLIVAN JR., JESSE CLIMENKO CLINICAL PROFESSOR OF LAW, HARVARD LAW SCHOOL " In an increasingly partisan and polarized universe --where 'things fall apart; the centre cannot hold'-- Dershowitz has written an inspirational and timely book on the importance of liberalism as a centrist credo for our troubled times. " --IRWIN COTLER, FORMER ATTORNEY GENERAL AND MINISTER OF JUSTICE, CANADA PRAISE FOR ALAN DERSHOWITZ " Alan Dershowitz speaks with great passion and personal courage. " --ELI WIESEL " Alan Dershowitz is a living profile in courage. " --STEVE FORBES " Over [his] storied career, Dershowitz has remained more or less unchanged: loud, provocative, brilliant and principled. " -- POLITICO " The fearless, peerless Alan Dershowitz ." --RABBI LORD JONATHAN SACKS, CHIEF RABBI, GREAT BRITAIN " The truth has no greater defender than Alan Dershowitz ."--BENJAMIN NETANYAHU " There are great legal minds; there are those who can also communicate well on television; then there is Dershowitz .


The professor is uniquely capable of arguing a position, while putting a premium on legal and ethical legitimacy, not its popularity . Bravo, Dershowitz!"--CHRIS CUOMO, ANCHOR AND REPORTER, CNN "Anyone interested in the true merits of criminal law and very fine writing must read Alan Dershowitz's book. "--TRUMAN CAPOTE "Love him or hate him, Dershowitz has lived a life that matters, hugely and enduringly. He is a man in full at a time when most of us aspire to be little more than a presence on Twitter ."-- NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW " Courage and principle are rare today. Professor Dershowitz has them both ."--SENATOR TED CRUZ.
