Eric Rauchway and Pete Scoblic have both published nice pieces recently making the point that McCain seems to be indicating a desire to go further than Bush in unraveling the internationalist framework that’s basically served America well since World War II.

Heilbrunn knows neocons, he wrote the book on them. Of course if you want a longer-form version of the argument about McCain’s dangerous foreign policy vision you need to check out my definitive take. And I’ll spare any mention of a potentially relevant book that you can find way down at the bottom of the floor where finer bookstores stash works whose authors’ last names begin with the letter “Y.”
