Churchill, Hitler, and the Unneces-sary War: How Britain Lost Its Empire and the West Lost the World, Patrick J. Buchanan, Crown, 501 pages
by John Lukacs
Just a quibble with the last point Dr. Lukacs makes:
But there is a fatal contradiction in Buchanan’s theses: Hitler’s regime—including, one may think, its expansion—was evil, but warring against him was unnecessary and wrong. Either thesis may be argued, but not both.
But it isn't contradictory. Buchanan is not arguing both x and not-x.
Edit: Some reactions to the review--
Tom Piatak, John Lukacs, Neocon?
