Title: manna from heaven for conservatives
Review: This is a book truly worth owning for serious and conservative students of history. I was first attracted to Johnson by reading some of his newspaper-style columns. As I learned more about him, it was clear his reputation as a conservative historian was deserved, and this book doesn't disappoint. It's particularly refreshing to hear a Brit, a denizen of an island nation that's been socialist since 1945, speak approvingly of the use of military force and of market economics.Regarding the book, Johnson produces serious depth, considering he covers most of the 20th century in less than 800 pages. He doesn't fall into the trap of many conservative historians, and present history solely as a product of the decisions made by so-called "great men." Johnson delves into economics and sociology to make his points, and he manages to discuss often-neglected areas of the world, such as South America, Africa, and Africa.
