The jewel in the crown of Samizdata.net

Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR

It's deja vu all over again

As always, Glenn Reynolds is the first one on to a fascinating new blog.

The Counter Revolutionary is posting a series of New York Times articles from the period of months after the end of WWII. I suggest starting at the bottom and reading your way up to the top as he is posting them roughly in time sequence.

I think you will agree it sounds very, very familiar.

"New"?

Steady on there. The Counter-Revolutionary is a great blog, one which went on a long hiatus but it's been around since March 2002 and I remember Andrew Sullivan linking to it back in 2002
