"Malcolm Muggeridge has notoriously a sharp eye and retentive ear, and is one of the wittiest and most elegant writers in the English language today.  He finds both himself and the rest of mankind irresistibly comical, yet in temperament is deeply serious.  A respecter of principles and beliefs but never of persons, he is totally honest and alarmingly indiscreet.  His life has taken him over much of the world, and brought him into contact with many of the most interesting and controversial people of our time.  It would be hard to find a better prescription for a master-diarist."
