“Macdonald’s inclinations aligned him with the American small-r republican tradition, which always saw a corrupting effect in prolonged foreign entanglements & the expansion of the military apparatus.”

“I also found in Macdonald’s political essays that much of what he criticized can be found around us today, and still merits criticism along the same lines.”
