Adventures On The Great Plains
For those interested in American history (and interesting parallels between the nineteenth-century frontier and our current projects in the Middle East), here's a very interesting book review, of an old and obscure book, over at Albion's Seedlings.

Sorry, link was wrong, but it's fixed now.

What parallels are you seeing, Rand? The key threats to US integrity during this time period were internal, while now the US faces powerful external threats. Do we face the threat of a second civil war (perhaps from immigration)? Are China and India supposed to correspond to the growing military powers of the 19th century? Does the decline of the British empire then correspond to some decline of the US hegemony today?

Did you read the link? He explains the parallels. You may or may not agree with them, but he does describe them.
