Tales of Good and Evil Help and Harm
Author: Philip Hallie
Praise for Tales of Good and Evil, Help and Harm"This [is a] beautiful book, written with what might be called disciplined moral passion...Crisp, plain-spoken, and forceful prose exemplifies this fine summary of one of those very rare lives spent immersed intellectually and personally, in issues of active moral engagement." — --Kirkus R...  more » (starred review)"This is the work of a sensitive and imaginative philosopher who spent much of his life trying to understand how acts of moral heroism are possible. Hallie's account of such acts is both moving and illuminating."

--Richard Rorty, professor of philosophy, University of Virginia"This is a grand, generous, big-hearted book...This book will restore your faith that goodness really exists, and sometimes even wins."

--Robert D. Richardson, Jr., author of Henry Thoreau: A Life of the Mind and Emerson: The Mind of Fire"A Powerful, moving text, tough-minded, never sentimental, reminding us of the distinctive voice that was Philip Hallie's and why we return to his work again and again."

--Jean Bethke Elshtain, author of Democracy of Trail
