Thanks for the ping and the post, Pokey. Steyn is both perceptive and a heck of a writer. I relish every one of his columns. Have they been collected into one or more books? Since he is so prolific, we'd have the equivalence of a set of Britannica Encyclopedias!
Mark Steyn has a couple of books out. My brother (XJarhead) got me a signed copy of "The Face of the Tiger" for last Christmas, autographed by Mark. Check out www.Steynonline.com for details.
"The Face of the Tiger" collects his columns from September 12, 2001 until a year later. Make sure you get your copy now, in the summer, so you have it handy for "The Brutal Afghan Winter".
