“History informs the present,” George W. Bush said at a luncheon he hosted for the historian Andrew Roberts, author of A History of the English-Speaking Peoples Since 1900. Indeed it does, or, to put it more precisely, the neoconservative idea of history informs the mind of George W. Bush.
In this series I have been discussing the neoconservative idea of history, more specifically the neocon historical narrative and its elements, using Roberts’ book as my starting point.
