Reviewing Books that Build Culture
JP O’Malley Interviews Author Ian Buruma
Ian Buruma published The Collaborators: Three Stories of Deception and Survival in World War II early last year. The University Bookman contributor JP O’Malley caught up with Mr. Buruma to discuss his latest book.
Pride in Our Founders – Through Geography and Maps
“[The book] conveys strong reasons to admire the founders: they trained and emerged in a relatively meritocratic political system, and understood demography, economic policy, and strategy…”
Imprisoned by the Internet
“…James’s volume is an accessible invitation to consider the possibility that the internet as such—wholly apart from any particular content—is forming people in essentially malign ways.”
