"Replete with weighty arguments, learned allusions, and thick 
documentation. . . . For all that, Iconography of Power is refreshingly 
jargon free and . . . a delight to read. . . . [An] attractively produced 
and intelligently written book." The Bolshevik Poster by Stephen White

"Without knowing that we knew nothing, we went on talking without listening 
to each other. Sometimes we flattered and praised each other, understanding 
that we would be flattered and praised in return. Other times we abused and 
shouted at each other, as if we were in a madhouse."
-Tolstoy
