No Enemies, No Hatred is a book by Nobel Peace Prize-winning writer and activist Liu Xiaobo which contains a wide selection of his writings and poetry between 1989 and 2009.[1] It was published in 2012 by the Belknap Press, an imprint of Harvard University Press. It was edited by Perry Link, Tienchi Martin-Liao and Liu Xiaobo's wife Liu Xia,[2] and includes a foreword written by Václav Havel. The volume marks the inaugural English-language collection of Liu's work.[3]

Reception

PD Smith of The Guardian wrote: "Liu's essays and poems [...] speak eloquently of his fearless commitment to defending human dignity, as well as his insight into China's history and culture."[4] Thor Halvorssen of Forbes called it "a provocatively sophisticated compendium of observations of contemporary Chinese authoritarian society".[5] According to Jonathan Mirsky of The New York Times, "Liu demonstrates a considerable amount of anger while retaining his Gandhian nonviolent spirit".[2]
