I've heard decent things about the presentation of information in Jacob Heilbrunn's book-length history, *They Knew They Were Right: The Rise of the Neocons*, although I haven't yet had an opportunity to read it myself. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/story/2008/02/01/ST2008020102523.html http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/graphic/2008/02/01/GR2008020102389.html The part about how "the neocons now seem wholly out-of-date, discredited in the Middle East and at home. In a sense they have come full circle and are back in the exile they originated in" seems wildly premature; but who knows, without reading both, how well reviews ever reflect actual books. -- "Hige sceal þe heardra, heorte þe cenre, mod sceal þe mare, þe ure mægen lytlað." ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@greenhouse.economics.utah.edu Set your options at: http://greenhouse.economics.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
