Praise for Speaking Out In The Time Of Trump: One Citizen Finds His Voice In Letters To The Editor
In this remarkable compilation of letters and commentary, Roger Hirschberg has provided both a brilliant set of insights into the disaster that was the Trump Presidency and a unique reminder of how importantly citizen pundits can contribute through a free press to our debates about critical issues- Steve Sinding PhD, Formerly Professor of Public Health and Public and International Affairs, Columbia University
Roger Hirschberg is truly a plain spoken philosopher for our time- measured, honest, direct and clear-eyed. Although each letter to the editor responds to a particular event, taken together, the set of letters paints a consistent and compelling picture of Trump's four years in office.- Arleen Leibowitz PhD Professor Emeritus, UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs
