BEINART IN-DEPTH: I have finally begun to read The Good Fight by Peter Beinart. Ever since I read A Fighting Faith, the December 2004 essay that prefigured the contents of Beinart's book, I have expected his book to serve as the definitive statement of a muscular liberal foreign policy.

Even though I am only thirty pages into the book right now, I sense that it will live up to that expectation. Although there are good reasons not to write about a book until one has finished reading it, I prefer to capture my reactions while they are fresh, then revise them later on.

Knowing my own habits, I am also quite confident that I would never post a chapter-by-chapter analysis of Beinart's book if I did not begin that task right away. And since this book clearly merits such close analysis, that is what I will do.
