"Appeasement Reconsidered"

By Matthew Yglesias
Lorelei Kelly reminds me of Jeffrey Record's excellent monograph "Appeasement Reconsidered" done for the Army War College's Institute for Strategic Studies (a noted hotbed of anti-American sentiment), a survey of the misuse of "appeasement" rhetoric to sell people on foreign policy boondoggles in the post-war era. John McCain and George Bush should check it out, they might learn something.
