Description: What do Winston Churchill Rosa Parks Emile Zola Billy Beane and Christopher Hitchens have in common? They are all Contrarians. This book is about the people who do not quietly slip into the shadows who revel in playing devil's advocate who zig when everyone else zags and who dare ask the question: Yes but just supposing that everyone else is wrong? They are not always successful all of the time. In fact some are spectacularly unsuccessful on occasions. They may not be popular or easy to live with but are always interesting and usually inspiring. Some make a point of arguing the opposite point of view on every occasion; some are mainstream on everything but resolute in opposing the mainstream on one particular issue. For some the issue which they contest so vigorously becomes mainstream through their exertions. In Compendium of Contrarians Robert Orr - Ewing shows how he has been inspired by these amusing challenging interesting and unusual characters.
