Missing from today's versions are the voices of moral clarity, those that challenge us to be our best selves in difficult times. Kristian Williams has mined the intellect of a man who, sixty-seven years after his death, still has much to offer readers. \u003ci\u003eBetween the Bullet and the Lie \u003c\/i\u003ehighlights the relationship George Orwell sees between aesthetics, ethics, and politics; the difference between honesty and integrity; the corruption of language; the importance of observation and evidence; and the many failures of the Left. The result is not a study of sacred decrees from Orwell, but an application of his thought to political and literary questions that trouble us today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKristian Williams\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eOur Enemies in Blue: Police and Power in America, American Methods: Torture and the Logic of Domination\u003c\/i\u003e, and co-editor of \u003ci\u003eLife During Wartime: Resisting Counterinsurgency\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e AK Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/21\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781849352901\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.40w x 0.80d","brand":"Kristian Williams","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38018293563573,"sku":"9781849352901","price":15.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_0813b128-fc5c-4c8d-b9d9-b720e497895f.jpg?v=1609169040","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/between-the-bullet-and-the-lie-essays-on-orwell-9781849352901","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
