Holy Rus’: The Rebirth of Orthodoxy in the New Russia (John P. Burgess)

Americans don’t understand the Russians. Americans don’t even try to understand the Russians, for the most part. I don’t understand the Russians, even if I should, given that my father was a professor of...

On the 1956 Hungarian Revolution

In these latter days, we are told man should be made new, and if that fails, we can replace him with thinking machines. The past is therefore denigrated, largely a blank. Today, most history...

On the Left as Scorpion: Election and Post-Election Predictions

Anyone who predicts the future risks beclowning and humiliating himself, usually for little return. Better to offer Nostradamus-like pronouncements, susceptible to many interpretations, so you can later retcon the predictions you make. Nonetheless, the...

Recent Appearances (October 2024)

I was honored to appear in the past three months in nine different venues. Programs where I appeared, in order, have been (with links below): 1) With Kruptos, and other luminaries, on the Christian Ghetto...

To Overthrow the World: The Rise and Fall and Rise of Communism (Sean McMeekin)

Unlike the cats grilled by the illegals invited by our rulers to invade once-decent towns all over America, Communism has nine lives, or more. Why is it that Communism, the most destructive and evil...

Days of Rage: America’s Radical Underground, the FBI, and the Forgotten Age of Revolutionary Violence (Bryan Burrough)

Never in history has targeted violence by individuals or small groups, killings and bombings, what the Russians once called “propaganda of the deed,” ever led to the replacement of a governing system, or even...

The Habsburg Way: Seven Rules for Turbulent Times (Eduard Habsburg)

Mirrors for princes, books of advice aimed at those who rule, have fallen out of style in our modern, supposedly democratic age. Books of advice for commoners, however, are ubiquitous, though most of them...

On Cancellation and the Use of Power

At the risk of being viewed as a Boomer, which I am not, let us ponder the immortal lyrics of the band Kansas, from 1977: “I close my eyes / Only for a moment,...

The Total State: How Liberal Democracies Become Tyrannies (Auron MacIntyre)

For many Americans, the Constitution is their spirit animal, which protects and guides them. Never mind that how we are ruled bears very little resemblance to the actual Constitution, or that the Regime pays...

Life, on the Line: A Chef’s Story of Chasing Greatness, Facing Death, and Redefining the Way We Eat (Grant Achatz)

What we see as history is always downstream from the actions of great men, working with the challenges given them. Such men are very rare, and their necessary traits include extreme discipline and focus,...

Against Nostalgia

Do you want your teddy bear? If you are on the Right, you probably do. All around your enemies celebrate their endless triumphs over you. They steal your wealth, trans your children, and scream...

Fascism: The Career of a Concept (Paul Gottfried)

What is fascism? Generically, it is a political philosophy, but what is its content? The word today is almost always used simply as an infinitely flexible synonym for “enemy of the Left,” but fascism...

Recent Appearances (May 2024)

I was honored to appear in the past three months in six different venues. Programs where I appeared, in order, have been (with links below): 1) With Eric Conn, on the Hard Men Podcast, we...

The Unprotected Class: How Anti-White Racism Is Tearing America Apart (Jeremy Carl)

A society, or part of it, always adopts definite modes of thought, speech, and action. And in time, inevitably, at least in modernity, those modes shift radically. What was once unthinkable suddenly becomes not...

My Speech at the Natal Conference

For quite some time, long before Elon Musk, I have claimed that the coming population crash is the most significant mechanical (that is, non-spiritual) problem facing the West. Last December, I attended and spoke...

Prince Henry the Navigator: A Life (Peter Russell)

Henry the Navigator, prince of Portugal, never king although he often acted as if he were, made the modern world. He lived from 1394 to 1460, and it was through him that Europe began...

King of Dogs (Andrew Edwards)

When Americans think of apocalyptic futures, we usually think of the apocalypse itself, whatever that might be. We have a morbid fascination with its totalizing effect, whether asteroid strike, zombie plague or nuclear war....

July 1914: Countdown to War (Sean McMeekin)

For some years now, Americans have lived through a chaotic series of events unprecedented in modern times. Still, some say “nothing ever happens.” They argue that these apparently dramatic crises, from the Russo-Ukraine War...

All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.

As with most of my book reviews, I am not actually reviewing this book, at least in the traditional sense. Rather, I am delivering my own thoughts. If you don’t like that, well, you’re in the wrong place.

I’m not in the apologies business. I’m in the winning business.
