Interesting summary of Hanson's work until we reach the later books. Odd how such an apparently intelligent reviewer is blinded by his own ideological presuppositions. I don't know where Devlin stands. He does not appear to be a kneejerk liberal by any means. Perhaps he is one of those neoconservatives who disapproves of the Iraqi war on other grounds?
Actually this fellow is some sort of paleo. He does write well. But as i said elsewhere those on the right who love thier country but hate the current regime with completel ferocity should remember Charles Muarras was probably the best political journalist in France for 30 years and he helped lead fFrance not to regeneration but to Vichy.
