Of the people.(Democracy and Populism: Fear and Hatred)(Book Review)
Democracy and Populism: Fear and Hatred, by John Lukacs (Yale, 272 pp., $25)
ONE hates to invoke the most weatherworn of metaphors, but John Lukacs's new book Democracy and Populism is indeed the tip of an iceberg. The author of more than 20 books, Lukacs is indisputably one of the English language's greatest--and most idiosyncratic--historians. He is hard to lock on to with conventional ideological radar: Lukacs is a conservative who believes America committed a monumental blunder by prosecuting the Cold War--and, one gathers, the war in Iraq. A native of Hungary, he deserted the Nazi-allied Hungarian army and eventually emigrated to the United States in 1946.
