The Immigration Solution: A Better Plan Than Today's
Heather Mac Donald, Victor Davis Hanson, ...

Ivan R. Dee, Publisher, 2007

The Illegal Immigration Crisis is Almost Out of Control
In the introduction of this well argued collection of essays, Myron Magnet points out how the illegal immigrant advocates engage in an Orwellian misuse of language. They describe themselves as "pro-immigration" and not defenders of law breaking. The Late Milton ...
  
  











  



  
The Soul of Battle: From Ancient Times to the Present Day, How Three Great Liberators Vanquished Tyranny
Victor Davis Hanson

Anchor, 2001

The Importance of Moral Conviction in War
This book explores three immensely effective generals: General William Tecumseh Sherman, General George Patton and the lesser-known Epaminondas of Thebes. General Sherman planned and led the infamous "march to the sea" during the U.S. Civil War. This campaign ...
  
  











  



  
The Landmark Thucydides

Free Press, 2008

The Landmark Thucydides by Robert Srassler
You should buy the hardcover book and not the paperback edition of this book. The paperback edition falls apart when you read it. This translation of Thucydides's history of the Peloponnesian War is outstanding. The text has numerous maps that help the reader locate ...
  
  











  



  
The Landmark Thucydides: A Comprehensive Guide to the Peloponnesian War
Thucydides

Free Press, 1998

Wow, amazing history!
Don't let the fact this book was written over 2,000 years ago sway you from reading it! I'll admit I was hesitant about reading Thucydides because I'm not a big fan of non-fiction or a serious military history buff, and more specifically, was never that interested in ...
  
  











  



  
Mexifornia: A State of Becoming, Revised Edition
Victor Davis Hanson

Encounter Books, 2007

The best gets better
More than a casual update, this is a substantially improved book. The concluding musings on where our country might go from here are absolutely first rate. Discussion of this version is sparse, but discussion of the original, is spirited and thought provoking.
  
  











  



  
Who Killed Homer?: The Demise of Classical Education and the Recovery of Greek Wisdom
Victor Davis Hanson, John Heath

Encounter Books, 2001

Flipping burgers and driving taxis
Victor David Hanson's and John Heath's devastating expose of the Anglo classicist establishment, 'Who Killed Homer? - The Demise of Classical Education and the Recovery of Greek Wisdom' (San Francisco: Encounter Books, 2001. ISBN 1893554260) is a book which infuriated ...
  
  











  



  
A War Like No Other: How the Athenians and Spartans Fought the Peloponnesian War
Victor Davis Hanson

Random House, 2005

A story like no other.
This is a great effort from a prolific and serious writer of history. I have read many books on the Greek wars during the 5th and 4th centuries B.C. and this is so all inclusive that it is a must read.
  
  











  



  
Wars of the Ancient Greeks (Smithsonian History of Warfare) (Smithsonian History of Warfare)
Victor Davis Hanson

Collins, 2006

Origins of Western Art of War.
This handsomely produced book is lavish with illustrations and diagrams. Pictures of Greek panoply and other weapons, as well as diagrams of phalanx warfare all contribute to a vivid portrayal of ancient and classical Greek warfare. Victor Davis Hanson is in usual ...
  
  











  



  
Mexifornia : A State of a Becoming
Victor Davis Hanson

Encounter Books, 2004

Straight talk from a native Californian
"... this book is part melancholy remembrance of a world gone by, part detached analysis by a historian who knows well the treacherous sirens of romance and nostalgia, and part advocacy by a teacher who always wanted his students to be second to no one." - Author ...
  
  











  



  
The Western Way of War: Infantry Battle in Classical Greece
Victor Davis Hanson

University of California Press, 2000

Battle as you've never experienced it before
By utilizing primary sources from first hand witnesses of ancient battle, Hanson paints a brilliant picture of what war in classical Greece was actually like. This book is a must-read for anyone fascinated by military history.
  
  











  



  
Between War and Peace: Lessons from Afghanistan to Iraq
Victor Davis Hanson

Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2004

a necessary fellow and imperative book
It's odd that a compilation of essays written 4-5 years ago can still be so relevant with such powerful meaning. Enter VDH, and perhaps as a surprise to Eurabia and the American Left, enter the post 9-11 world. Logical to the extreme, incredibly worded, accurate ...
  
  











  



  
The Other Greeks: The Family Farm and the Agrarian Roots of Western Civilization
Victor Davis Hanson

University of California Press, 1999

The Real Foundation of Ancient Greek Culture
Over the years I have read many books on the ancient world, but always came away dissatisfied, feeling as if I could not quite grasp what these ancient Greeks were all about. Sure, these books all covered the various battles and the struggle with Persia. They all ...
  
  











  



  
Bonfire of the Humanities: Rescuing the Classics in an Impoverished Age
Victor Davis Hanson, John Heath, ...

ISI Books, 2001

Be careful where you send the kids for an "education"
Before you pay tens of thousands of dollars to send little Jr. or Jr.ett off to the local state university--READ THIS BOOK!!! What about when people who are unworthy of education approach philosophy and consort with her unworthily? What kinds of thoughts and opinions ...
  
  











  



  
The Land Was Everything: Letters from an American Farmer
Victor Davis Hanson

Free Press, 2000

A FINE WORK - on a tragic subject.
As a graduate student in the university (stumbling along the first steps of academia) while at the same time dragging my small farm roots along, I find Victor Hanson's appraisal and insightful commentary frighteningly real to much of my own experience and upbringing. ...
