Angelo Codevilla
Codavilla is in the stratosphere of historical and political research and writing. His works may be considered seminal if they are not already.
It’s funny, great writers are usually not recognized widely, if at all, until a decade or so or decades after their works. It takes time to sink in as people read and reread and judge how the work stands up as history unfolds
Angelo Codavilla and Yaacov Apelbaum are indeed great thinkers, offering valuable insight, having a keen ability for analysis and synthesis of vast information, and boiling it down to a broad yet precise perspective. These two are unquestionably gifted. They save many of us a lot of time from having to do the work ourselves. Apelbaum has a day job. I have no idea where he finds the time.
