Blogging History -- From the Right
Andrew Sullivan,"The Mullah," TNR (out from behind its subscriber-only firewall), 15 March, reviews Dinesh D'Souza's The Enemy at Home: The Cultural Left and its Responsibility for 9/11. Having made his own argument about what an American conservatism would be in The Conservative Soul: How We Lost It, How To Get It Back, Sullivan argues that D'Souza's controversial book is yet another signal that American conservatism is at a crisis. It's certainly not that conservatism lacks avowed voices. Even in the history blogosphere, there are many blogs that do history from the Right.
