Lothar Baier judges: “Your book Sin Fall of the Intellectuals, showered with praise by unsuspecting German reviewers , now turns out to be totally outdated and completely worthless in the light of the British author's investigation. His core message shrinks to a laughable fairy tale. ”(Compared to Frances Stonor Saunders: Who pays the bill ... The CIA and the culture in the Cold War , Siedler Verlag, Berlin 2001).

  7. In his review, Hans-Martin Lohmann sums up : “What she has to say about contemporary Islam, of course, in its coarseness, is more reminiscent of Henryk M. Broder's phobias ( Hurray, we're capitulating! ) Than of sensible analysis ... There is Books that seem out of date. Ulrike Ackermann's Eros der Freiheit is such a book, "( DIE ZEIT, November 27, 2008 No. 49 )
