Just curious: Is this the frequently-published historian Paul Johnson?

[goldstategop]

Yes. And ex-socialist in his youth who moved to the Right. He's a prolific author who never tires of new things to say and he has some wonderful observations on democracy in Europe. Who can say it will still be around in another few generations there? Its striking no one asks such a question about the fate of freedom in America. The prospect is simply unthinkable.

Yes. Paul Johnson is one of the finest historians and authors ever. He is a godly man. His works are a truly enjoyable, enlightening read.
