WORLD WAR IV: THE LONG STRUGGLE AGAINST ISLAMOFASCISM
Norman Podhoretz
Doubleday, 2007, 230 pgs.

Norman Podhoretz, an eminent authority on the novels of Norman Mailer, has for decades postured as an expert in foreign policy as well. It is not too much then, one might have supposed, to expect him to possess an elementary knowledge of European history. Any such expectations are soon disappointed.

THE CONSCIENCE OF A LIBERAL
Paul Krugman
W.W. Norton, 2007, 296 pgs.
