Victor Davis Hanson's "Western Way" is not Western

Bret Devereaux has Comments on Victor Davis Hanson, mispelt "Hansen". Devereaux notes Hanson's debt to scholarship of the Teutons circa-AD-1900. They were - yes - racists. Devereaux therefrom insinuates.

VDH's Western Way of War goes more to the Tournament: of the High Middle Ages, crossing linguistic bounds... and, further, a feature of Nahua-speaking Mesoamerica. The Tournament did exist and seems to be transoceanic without regard to race.

May as well ponder why Devereaux himself is now endorsed by Vox Day.
