Entry: The American Conservative, John Lukacs, and The Unnecessary Review Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/the_american_conservative_john_lukacs_and_the_unnecessary_review#27712 Post contents: John Lukacs hates nationalism -- or what he perceives as nationalism. Given his personal experiences at the hands of National Socialists and a certain type of hungarian nationalist, that is perhaps understandable. The real danger for us today, however, comes not from nationalists, but from a cosmopolitan elite. Lukacs is in his 80s -- his mind is sharp, but likely it will always be 1939 or 1944 for him (he has the excuse of actually being there, whereas Frum, Goldberg et al don't). Sent at: 2008 11 20
