Indeed he is like no other president since 1960 when I arrived in this country as a student. The Nixon-Kennedy debates on TV got me hooked on American politics.

Thank you so much for posting the entire review and not just an excerpt. VDH is a gem and no matter what he’s writing about, it’s instructive.

Fascinating. I look forward to reading the book.

So it is often a treat to read an Isocrates or Cicero in modern English.

Whew. That's extremely high praise from VDH.

I guess the book is required reading.

I love VDH’s writing too. I did have one quibble with his claim that both his critics and supporters are surprised by his accomplishments. Not this supporter!

Maybe our school shootings are connected to the ‘thin veneer of civilization' being ripped off our public school system...

is in some sad sense the logical trajectory of the American criminal justice system that gives federal prosecutors unchecked power

Similarly the regulatory bureaucracy (IRS, EPA, NEA, etc.)

Too many have figured out how to milk the taxpayer for a paycheck, creating costs (economic, social, etc.) from which they make sure to distance themselves.
