Doch das norwegische Nobelkomitee einte die Überzeugung, dass niemand im Jahr zuvor mehr für den Frieden in der Welt geleistet hatte als der deutsche Bundeskanzler. Über diesen Erfolg sollten jedoch die übrigen deutschen Friedensnobelpreiskandidaten der Jahre von 1962 bis 1971 nicht vergessen werden. Auch Ernst Bloch, Friedrich Wilhelm Foerster, Heinrich Grüber, Kurt Hahn, Martin Niemöller, Friedrich Siegmund-Schultze, Fritz v.

In this compelling collection, Michael Anton--a rising political philosopher of the New Right--examines a wide array of subjects, from profiles of his intellectual heroes to the decline of his beloved home state of California and other pressing political challenges of our time. As the author of a series of influential essays that helped shape the intellectual foundation of Trumpism, Anton has played a pivotal role in the movement's ascent. Currently serving as Director of Policy Planning at the State Department, Anton offers insights into his views on the international order through writings on George Kennan (who previously held this position), containment, nuclear war, and the Trump doctrine. Despite his philosophical and policy credentials, the essays collected here also reflect Anton's eclectic interests, ranging from Anthony Bourdain and the culinary world to Olympic swimming, the golden age of shipbuilding, and his literary hero, Tom Wolfe. Taken together, these essays provide a window into the singular mind of an emerging defender of Americanism and Western political traditions.
