Entry: The Subversion of Lawrence Dennis Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_subversion_of_lawrence_dennis#5973 Post contents: One of the defendants was Ralph Townsend, a former State Department official in China in the early 30s and author of two of the best books on East Asia at the time, Ways That Are Dark (on Chiang's China)and Asia Answers. He was hardly a minor crank. While I largely agree with Raimondo in this review, I find him obnoxious and arrogantly self-ignorant on many matters of history, the so-called "holocaust" being just one example. His biography of Rothbard was/is embarrassing hagiography and his earlier assertion in his first book that Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged was inspired by some obscure twenties novel just off the wall.
