Placed by some in the same category with military historian John Keegan, Victor Davis Hanson is considered one of the most thought-provoking commentators on military strategy today. The author of several books, including An Autumn of War: What America Learned from September 11 and the War on Terrorism (New York: Anchor Books, 2002), he also writes a weekly column for National Review Online and appears frequently on television as an expert commentator. The professor of classics at California State University, Fresno, and current visiting Shifrin professor of military history at the U.S. Naval Academy talked recently in his office with the Naval Institute's Fred L. Schultz.
