[lit-ideas] Re: Defining the enemy

I don't think you'll find much in there that hasn't been hashed out in other books. Since the book is basically a compilation of Podhoretz's columns they show him to be a stalwart defender of the Bush Doctrine from early on. But if you haven't read Lawrence Wright or Mark Steyn or Lawrence Kaplan or Thomas Barnett I think World War IV is a fine little volume on what we face. Just not in the Top 5.

Best,

Actually, I'm not running across much that I haven't read elsewhere or thought about, but Podhoretz writes well. And yes, the Bush doctrine compares well with the Truman Doctrine.
