Tocqueville on American Character: Why Tocqueville’s Brilliant Exploraton of the American Spirit is as Vital and Important Today as it was Nearly Two Hundred Years Ago
by Michael Ledeen
Michael Ledeen takes a fresh look at Tocqueville’s insights into our national psyche and asks whether Americans’ national character, which Tocqueville believed to be wholly admirable, has fallen into moral decay and religious indifference.
Machiavelli on Modern Leadership: Why Machiavelli’s Iron Rules are as Timely and Important Today as Five Centuries Ago
by Michael Ledeen
American Enterprise Institute resident scholar Ledeen offers an updated version of the rules for leadership laid down by Machiavelli. Its the nature of humans to do evil, and war is our natural state. Anyone who would wield power in such a setting, writes Ledeen, echoing Machiavelli, “must be prepared to fight at all times.” This is as true in business, sports, and politics as it is on the battlefield.

by Michael Ledeen
With the skill of a born storyteller, Michael Ledeen weaves together key moments in the fall of communism. His insider’s knowledge of the interplay of complex personalities and Byzantine strategies makes a compelling narrative, one enlivened by his wry wit and flair for the dramatic.
In this call to embrace the worldwide democratic revolution, the author argues that global democracy should be the centerpiece of U.S. strategy.

Twitter seems to be the only reliable channel this morning. Conventional cable news seems a few steps behind. I have been alerting all my friends to Twitter #Iranelection

Jun 15, 2009 - 7:53 am 3. dido:Dr Ledeen:
This is no revolution!
Why are you calling it that?
Mousavi is an old regime murderer just like Ahmadinjead is.
Or Have you joined the Mousavi campaign now?!!
Jun 15, 2009 - 6:47 pm 4. dido:Well, I keep posting the same basic question Winston, but they keep censoring me out here.
