Analogies

Peter Howard and Robert Farley discuss the use of analogies by wartime leaders, and in particular the Bush administration’s recent efforts to deploy Korea analogies in the Iraq debate. Analogies at War is the classic examination of this, and Jeffrey Record’s Making War, Thinking History looks at more recent events through a somewhat similar lens.
