This is the fifth video in the AFA "History in the News" series hosted by Victor Davis Hanson. In this episode: For some 2,500 years, Western militaries have enjoyed innate advantages over their rivals. But on occasion, non-Westerners have obtained Western weapons, encouraged anti-war movements among Western populaces, turned Western nations against one another, and used the law of asymmetry to make a Western victory difficult. So, while the West still reigns supreme on the conventional battlefield, it does not always win its wars.

This is the sixth video in the AFA "History in the News" series hosted by Victor Davis Hanson. In this episode: When people vote with their feet, they vote for the West. It's been true for centuries, and it remains true today: Non-Westerners emigrate to Western societies in vast numbers seeking personal freedom and a better life. But when people immigrate here illegally, and then resist assimilation after they arrive, they undermine the rationale that drew them here in the first place.

This is the seventh video in the AFA "History in the News" series hosted by Victor Davis Hanson. In this episode: Presenting the postmodern presidency.

This is the eighth and final video in the AFA "History in the News" series hosted by Victor Davis Hanson. In this episode: The mythology surrounding Ronald Reagan and his presidency obscures the reality that he was neither a die-hard conservative nor a dangerous reactionary, but a gifted traditionalist whose pragmatism, communications skills and mastery of compromise allowed him to achieve what was possible rather than dream about what was not.

This is the fourth video in the AFA "History In the News" series hosted by Victor Davis Hanson. In this episode: Astronomical costs, partisan politics and the inability to graduate literate students all characterize the modern university. The solution will require a redefinition of higher education and the end of college as we know it.

This is the second of 8 videos in the AFA "History in the News" series hosted by Victor Davis Hanson. In this episode: Some people insist that America's global influence is on the wane. Yet billions of people around the world will log onto Facebook today, or do a search on Google, or order something from Amazon. These brands are the Levis and Coca-Cola of the current generation - expressions of American popular culture that have enormous global appeal. And our popular culture is a reflection of a unique Constitution that promotes freedom and merit. Add to that the further advantage of our great natural wealth, and it is hard to credit all those gloomy predictions about America's inevitable decline. Passionate about a stronger, freer future?

This is the first of 8 videos in the AFA "History in the News" series hosted by Victor Davis Hanson. In this episode: From Roman times through the 20th century, Europeans confronted the recurring challenge of how to contain German dynamism. This proved impossible in 1914 and 1939. The problem disappeared during the Cold War, when Germany was divided. Now, with the USSR defunct, Germany reunited, the EU crumbling and NATO nearly senile, Germany seems more unrestrained than ever.
