Reviews
An excellent translation: clear, crisp and accurate. The introduction is also a helpful contextualization of the text, Boetie's relation to Montaigne, and a brief discussion of the history of this important text on non-cooperation in the 20th-Century. I highly recommend it for courses in the history of political theory and of non-cooperation as a means of regime change. --James Tully, Department of Political Science, University of Victoria
A powerful rendition of La Boetie's soldierly prose (as Montaigne would have it). . . . With this unassuming book, the authors have not only offered a solid introduction to Etienne de La Boetie and his legacy, but also passed on to us a living document (Harry Kurz) which may yet find resonance in our own troubled times. --Jeremie Korta, Harvard University, in Sixteenth Century Journal
