Reviewing Books that Build Culture
Inside the Split Mind of George Kennan
“It is [Costigliola’s] contention that the American militarization of the Cold War was a mistake for which he holds Kennan significantly, but far from exclusively, responsible.”
Real Natural Law
“The existence of God and his providential governance of the universe are the right subjects for public debate over the basis and content of natural law.”
Knights On a Darkling Plain
“Kirk’s reminder speaks to the selflessness of those who defend the ‘permanent things’ and the importance of these things (family, community, faith, and tradition) to our world.”
Mysteries Require Odes, Not Emails
“In this volume Christian verse encompasses religious themes addressed ‘explicitly or implicitly’ by poets, whether practicing or lapsed, ‘whose imagination is shaped by the tenets, symbols, and traditions of the faith.’
Every Mann
“…Mann blends those aforementioned Big Questions with little daily ones of eternal significance…”
Lofty Prose in a New Translation of Beowulf
“…Reinhard’s elegant translation and perspicacious notes present fresh reasons for picking up this ancient classic.”
Saving the West By Keeping It Real
“…Klavan applies his extensive knowledge of classical literature and the Western canon to properly frame today’s challenges and help people take appropriate action.”
Reagan as Peacemaking Cold Warrior
“Inboden’s work does a lot to explain this dichotomy as part of Reagan’s larger vision: to exploit the weaknesses in the Soviet system while building up American strength with the goal of causing a collapse in the Soviet system.”
Oh Yeah Baby Eat It
“Bottum’s voice is confident and idiosyncratic, playful and wise, plainspoken and deliberate, concerned with dramas large and dramas small.”

A collection of conversations with Bookman editor Luke C. Sheahan and writers and authors of imagination and erudition.
Ah, just your typical 663-page light summer beach read for a @ubookman book review. Makes Wealth of Nations look like a Substack essay.
