I have read most of VDH’s books. He makes classical history come alive.
I fear that many Americans have been educated into the “relativism” propaganda, along with diversity and multiculturalism, which denies the primacy of Western Civilization. Radical Islam is not seen as a threat by many leftist Democrats. This is why. They see Christians as more of a threat than radical Muslims. It is ok for Muslims to deny relativism, but not Christians.
America, coming from the British tradition has a strong martial spirit, much as the Ancient Greeks and Romans. Patton said it well, that Americans love to win and hate to lose. The Romans just did not give up. Their empire expanded until it bumped up against the strong Persian empire and Germanic tribes that could not be subdued. Rome’s martial spirit declined when its people lost their will to win. This appears to be happening to our country. God help us.
