Buchanan’s book is a part of a leftist and paleo-conservative attempt to repudiate World War II (and its Allied leaders) and enshrine the “lessons of Vietnam” in their place. You might also have included a recent article by Newsweek’s Evan Thomas on the “mythology of Munich.” All of this is meant to promote isolationism and pacifism, and in the case of the left, to facilitate the election of Barack Obama.
