The struggle of the Cold War had many aspects -- or
"fronts," as Communists called them -- but at its heart was
a conflict of competing social and political visions. So it
is not surprising that books proved one of the most potent
weapons in the anti-Communist arsenal. Now, in The Anti-
Communist Manifestoe: Four Books That Shaped the Cold War,
John V. Fleming tells the fascinating story behind four
anti-Communist masterpieces -- Darkness at Noon (1940), by
Arthur Koestler, a Hungarian journalist and polymath
intellectual; Out of the Night (1941), by Jan Valtin, a
German sailor and labor agitator; I Chose Freedom (1946),
by Victor Kravchenko, a Soviet engineer; and Witness
(1952), by Whittaker Chambers, an American journalist. read more |

Americans tend to lack a basic understanding of
military matters, and no wonder: For nearly half a century,
military history has become increasingly unfashionable on
campus. "This state of neglect in our schools is profoundly
troubling," writes classics professor and conservative
commentator Victor Davis Hanson. "Democratic citizenship
requires knowledge of war -- and now, in the age of weapons
of mass annihilation, more than ever." In The Father Of Us
All: War and History, Ancient and Modern, Hanson helps to
fill that gap in our knowledge with 13 of his finest recent
essays on the subject. Revised and combined into a well-
articulated whole, the chapters in this book explore such
topics as how technology shapes warfare, what constitutes
the "American way of war," and why even those who abhor war
need to study military history. "War is the father and king
of us all," Heraclitus wrote in ancient Greece -- and
Hanson shows why it that is no less so today. read more |
