Joel Whitney at Guernica magazine interviews Paul Berman, author of The Flight of the Intellectuals, whom I also interviewed recently.

Whitney’s interview is different from mine. Whitney liked Berman’s book, but there’s some tension on certain points, tension that was absent in my interview because Berman and I are more in agreement. The two also spend much more time discussing Nazi Germany’s foreign policy in the Arab world and how that sordid history bears on the present.
