North Korea's nuclear weapons program and its high rate of ballistic missile testing have propelled the "hermit kingdom" to the top of America's foreign policy priorities.
Dear friend, Join me here on the ol' world wide webs to celebrate the official publication date of Victor Davis Hanson's acclaimed new work: The Second World Wars: How the First Global Conflict Was Fought and Won.
NRO is celebrating all week by featuring, every day, an excerpt from the book: Here's the first one. You're going to love it. And you'll be in excellent company on that score. The Second World Wars is not just "another" tome on WW2. It is, according to many critics, an utterly original take on the conflict. The reviews are starting to come in. They cannot praise Victor Davis Hanson enough for this triumph: Kirkus calls The Second World Wars "an ingenious, always provocative analysis of history's most lethal war." Publishers Weekly says Hanson's "organizational approach allows him to isolate and highlight observations that may surprise even some well-read WWII enthusiasts." HistoryNet declares "In his latest work, noted military historian Victor Davis Hanson provides an utterly original account of what he terms the 'first true global conflict.'" Military Review serves up more of the same ultra-high praise: "Victor Davis Hanson's new contribution to the literature, The Second World Wars, should find a place in the front rank of efforts to produce a short but broadly comprehensive history." You already know that "VDH" is soooo darned smart, and a world-class historian. As a treat, we suggest you listen to this special early-summer podcast of NRO's The Editors in which Rich Lowry discusses, with Victor and fellow eminent historian Andrew Roberts, the British evacuation at Dunkirk. It is fascinating stuff: Catch it here. As fascinating is this big, new, beautiful, and insightful work. You can head down to your local bookstore to get copies of The Second World Wars: How the First Global Conflict Was Fought and Won. Or you can order your copies at Amazon. And I do mean copies: You are going to want to give this as a gift. No question. Kudos Victor!
