• Prince Henry the Navigator: A Life (Peter Russell)
    Apr 22 2024

    Of the prince (never king) who, with his iron will and fierce determination, singlehandedly began the Age of Exploration, in which Europe conquered the globe, and thereby created the modern world. And of what his life says for the renewal of our own time.

  • King of Dogs (Andrew Edwards)
    Apr 5 2024

    A introspective novel about near-future America, more pessimistic than I am, yet not unrealistic.

  • July 1914: Countdown to War (Sean McMeekin)
    Mar 26 2024

    Of a time of constant crisis and nothing appearing to actually happen—not 2024, but 1914. And of how "nothing ever happens" turned to "everything is different now."

  • The Camp of the Saints (Jean Raspail)
    Mar 5 2024

    Today we discuss a book that, fifty years ago, predicted with great precision the current predicament of the West, swamped by invaders as its own will evanesces. And in this light, we discuss racial harmony and Christian duty.

  • Elon Musk (Walter Isaacson)
    Feb 26 2024

    In which I predict, against the haters and naysayers, that Elon Musk is an excellent, and in fact the leading, candidate for America's Man of Destiny. And also of entrepreneurship and getting rich.

    Feb 5 2024

    A day-by-day account of the final days of the Weimar Republic, a period poorly understood by modern Americans, with lessons for us—but not the lessons most think.

  • Conservatism: A Rediscovery (Yoram Hazony)
    Jan 28 2024

    An excellent work from Yoram Hazony, which clearly distinguishes what is Right from what is Left—and correctly concludes that much of what is called "conservatism" is merely poorly-disguised leftism, as is so-called classical liberalism.
