...very moved by the oral histories of the U.S. servicemen aboard the planes that struck Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I hope they know they are heroes. It was estimated that an invasion might have caused 1 million Allied casualties. There would be a lot fewer dads and grandpas around today had that taken place.

In his new book, Sen directs his iconoclastic zeal on the perception of India?held by many abroad, and also within the country...

Many of the officers had recently returned from Iraq and Afghanistan; others were about to be deployed. As always, I was struck by how the core values of the military-service and discipline, both physical and intellectual-are so different from the perpetual American Mardi Gras. More than a few officers told me they were concerned by what was happening back home...
