| Summary: | Reviewing academic books is a dicey business. A seasoned practitioner of this noble and maieutic undertaking observed perspicaciously in his review of a biography of the Anglo-American journalist that the latter despite his many achievements, "perdition-wrote book reviews" (Howard Schneider in Wall Street Journal, November 27, 2020, p. A13). Reviewers must remain circumspect about their judgment on their authors' works especially when, as in the anthology under review, majority of the authors possess impressive credentials individually. Yet, it is the reviewers' responsibility to point out the flaws, errors, and infelicities in the texts reviewed. Review is not just re-view but also recommendation for recovery and rectification. |
