Victor Davis Hanson
An insightful historian and provocative social critic, Hanson puts international affairs and current events into a historical and a social context.

Hanson is a recipient of the Eric Breindel Award for Excellence in Journalism.
Victor Davis Hanson Samples
Let sleeping Germans lie
The newly elected French Socialist president, Francois Hollande, is warning Germany that Mediterranean ideas of "growth," not Germanic "austerity," should be the new European creed.
Chameleon Nation
Sometimes a trivial embarrassment can become a teachable moment. Not long ago, University of Colorado academic Ward Churchill was likewise exposed as a fraud in his claims of Native American ancestry.
Cabinets gone wild
We've had some unusual Cabinet secretaries in past administrations -- Earl Butz, John Mitchell and James Watt come to mind -- but never anything quite like the present bunch.
Decline or decadence?
Almost daily we read of America's "waning power" and "inevitable decline," as observers argue over the consequences of defense cuts and budget crises. Yet much of the new American "leading from behind" strategy is a matter of choice, not necessity.
When administrations implode
Administration meltdowns are hardly novel. Vietnam had effectively destroyed Lyndon Johnson by 1967. For a time, it seemed that Ronald Reagan's second term might not survive the Iran-Contra scandal.
Enemies of the people
In 2008, a mostly unknown Barack Obama ran for president on an inclusive agenda of "hope and change." Four years later, none of those promises will be themes of his 2012 re-election campaign.
