Description of the Book: The Passion of Ayn Rand's Critics

For Advertisment
For years, best-selling novelist and controversial philosopher Ayn Rand has been the victim of posthumous portrayals of her life and character taken from the pages of the biographies by Nathaniel Branden and Barbara Branden. Now, for the first time, Rand's own never-before-seen journal entries on the Brandens, and the first in-depth analysis of the Brandens' works, reveal the profoundly inaccurate and unjust depiction of their former mentor. This explosive book lays to rest the myths promulgated by the Brandens' books that have made their way into both the popular and scholarly debates about Rand's life and work, from academic journals to Hollywood movies. At last author James S. Valliant shines light on the truth hidden by the Brandens' biographies and sets the record straight on one of the most influential thinkers of our time.
