My Take
Richard Perle interests me less as a politician than as an idea-maker who operated from the wings. Cutting his teeth under Senator Henry Jackson, then holding a key Pentagon role under Reagan, he is the sort of figure who shapes policy through conviction and argument rather than ballots. I find him genuinely divisive, and I think that is the point: people who push a coherent worldview for decades inevitably collect both disciples and critics. Setting aside whether I agree with him, I respect the staying power. A Princeton-trained New Yorker who spent half a century in the arena is, at minimum, a fascinating study in influence.
