Commentators, writers and leaders have provided pre-publication comments for the jacket of “Rabble-Rouser for Peace.” Among comments which will be used, on the jackets of either the U.S. or S.A./U.K. editions:
“A superb book, showing what an extraordinary peacemaker—and warm human being—Desmond Tutu is. It makes fascinating reading.” — Mary Robinson, President, Realizing Rights: The Ethical Globablization Initiative, and Former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights
“Apartheid never defeated (Desmond Tutu) because of his passionate belief that the status of every human being is God-given and indelible… This book tells his story: how he overcame illness and every kind of opposition—from the misguided to the blatantly wicked—with faith, determination, exuberance and an irrepressible sense of humour. These are Christlike gifts… I read (Rabble Rouser for Peace) with a growing sense of admiration and gratitude. I shall read it again. If you choose to read it, it will warm you and make you laugh, dance and cry with Tutu.” — +Sentamu Ebor, Archbishop of York
“This is a riveting book. John Allen has given us a profound portrait of one of the few great human beings of our age and of the country he did so much to save. He shows Archbishop Tutu in all his courage, his uproarious humor, his passion. And he discloses much that happened behind the scenes in the struggle that finally brought a peaceful revolution to South Africa.” — Anthony Lewis, former New York Times columnist
