Good post yours. I really like a lot of Buchanan’s ideas. But he has a dark side. In his book “Churchill, Hitler and the Unnecessary War”, Buchanan blames the British for everything, and the Germans for nothing. In particular, he defends Hitler’s pre-war diplomatic aggression.
I’ve got a feeling that had Buchanan lived in German-occupied France, he would have been a willing collaborator.
Buchanan has always had a contrarian side.
In this age one cannot objectively examine Hitler or the war without being accused of something.
Was Hitler as they portray him? Probably, but maybe not. The one thing, is the present line of thinking and any deviation from that is blasphemous.
History is written by the victor and what Buchanan has often done, is try the view from the other side for a different perspective on events. He has done it with the Japanese as well. Doesn’t make him wrong or an anti-Semite
