The End of Everything by Victor Davis Hanson

This book’s full title is The End of Everything: How Wars Descend into Annihilation. This is a fascinating book talking about 3 civilizations coming to an end. The civilizations he talks about are Thebes (in Greece), Carthage (north Africa), Constantinople (in what is now Turkey) and Tenochtitlan (Aztecs in Mexico). He thinks we should learn from the past. Of course, what we learn from history is that we do not learn from history.

There is a review at Writers Reps that outlines the book. There is an interesting review and quote by Maurine Proctor on Later Day Saint site. There is a short review on Kirkus Reviews. There is a good review on The New Criterion.

There is an interview by at Hoover Institution of the author by Peter Robinson. Megyn Kelly interviews Victor Davis Hanson on YouTube. This is a short interview of just over 8 minutes. It ends with advert to buy gold? I would not go there. There is an interview on OAN. This is an interview by John Anderson. They start talking about US politics. He starts talking about talking about his book about 1 hour in.

An index of the books I have reviewed are on my website at Books. I have three blogs. The first talks only about specific stocks and is called Investment Talk . The second one contains information on mostly investing and is called Investing Economics Mostly. My last blog is for my book reviews and it is called Non-Fiction Mostly. Follow me on Twitter.
