Martin van Creveld Speaks Out

The esteemed military historian Martin van Creveld has a trenchant article in the latest issue of The Forward where he suggests President Bush be impeached and put on trial “for misleading the American people, and launching the most foolish war since Emperor Augustus in 9 BC sent his legions into Germany and lost them”.

Dr. van Creveld is mostly recognized in Misesian circles for his book The Rise and Decline of the State, his lecture on the topic at the Mises Institute conference of the same name, and his recent return to Auburn at the Austrian Scholars Conference where he spoke on the topic of “Why War Games Do Not Work”.

Here is an interview with Dr. van Creveld from Sonshi.com

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
