Summary

Hidden Details argues that history's pivotal moments often hinge on overlooked details, not just grand strategies. It challenges conventional narratives by examining logistical constraints, individual actions, and unintended consequences, revealing how these factors drastically altered outcomes. Consider, for example, how weather patterns impacted military campaigns or how unsung heroes influenced crucial historical junctures. This book asserts that a comprehensive understanding requires meticulous examination of these seemingly insignificant elements, empowering readers to critically assess established historical accounts.

 
The book progresses by first introducing core concepts through examples. Subsequent sections then offer in-depth analyses of specific historical events, examining both military and political turning points impacted by logistical and environmental factors, as well as instances where individual actions and unintended consequences changed the course of events.

 
By focusing on micro-level factors, Hidden Details distinguishes itself by moving away from deterministic explanations and emphasizing contingency and human agency, providing a framework for identifying and analyzing these hidden influences on policy decisions and strategic decision-making.

Moderate Conservatism -...

John Kekes

Moderate Conservatism: Reclaiming the Center by John Kekes is a response to attacks on the United States' 300-year-old constitutional democracy by extremists on the left and the right. It makes a reasoned case for moderation and the defense of a political system that has endured because it has balanced the often-conflicting claims of justice, liberty, equality, prosperity, and security. That balance is now threatened by extremists who ignore all else but their grievances. They are blind to the destructive consequences of their attacks on the conditions on which the well-being of all Americans, including their own, depends. 
 
 
 
The aim of Moderate Conservatism is to protect the United States' political system. It is a defense of what Americans have and are in danger of losing. Central to it is the rarely conscious patriotism of many millions of citizens who live private lives, earn a living, raise a family, and rely on the political system to protect the conditions in which they can continue to do so. They sustain life as Americans know it. And that life is now threatened by the destructive attacks of extremists. The United States is in urgent need of the balance and moderation this book describes and defends.
