Between 1961, when she gave her first talk at the Ford Hall
Forum in Boston, and 1981, when she gave the last talk of
her life in New Orleans, Ayn Rand spoke and wrote about
topics as different as education, medicine, Vietnam, and the
death of Marylin Monroe. In The Voice of Reason,
these pieces, written in the last decades of Rand's life are
gathered in book form for the first time. With them are five
essays by Leonard Peikoff, Rand's longtime associate and
literary executor. The work concludes with Peikoff's
eipolgue, "My Thirty Years With Ayn Rand: An Intellectual
Memoir," which answers the question "What was Ayn Rand
really like?" Important reading for all thinking
individuals, Rand's later writings reflect a life lived on
principle, a probing mind, and a passionate intensity. This
collection communicates not only Rand's singular worldview,
but also the penetrating cultural and political analysis to
which it gives rise.
