My Take
Andrew Bacevich is the kind of thinker I find quietly indispensable. A Princeton graduate and professor emeritus at Boston University, he spent decades scrutinizing how America wields its power, rather than cheerleading it. What earns my respect is his refusal to chase trends; he builds his arguments book by book, and the 2014 American Book Award feels like recognition of that steady integrity. In an era of loud, shallow takes, a historian who insists on examining foreign policy and military history on their own terms is a rare asset. I trust voices that argue carefully over those that merely shout.
