Ki. 18:14-17 KJV And Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of
Assyria to Lachish, saying, I have offended; return from me: that
which thou puttest on me will I bear. And the king of Assyria
appointed unto Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver
and thirty talents of gold. 15 And Hezekiah gave him all the silver
that was found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the
king's house. 16 At that time did Hezekiah cut off the gold from the
doors of the temple of the LORD, and from the pillars which Hezekiah
king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria. 17
And the king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rabsaris and Rabshakeh from
Lachish to king Hezekiah with a great host against Jerusalem. And
they went up and came to Jerusalem. And when they were come up, they
came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is in the
highway of the fuller's field.

Appeasement
defined the global conflicts of the 20th century. Time after time,
America and other forces for freedom and democracy withheld their
power in efforts to appease the most evil regimes in recent history.
Over and over again, the policy of appeasement has ended in
disaster. Now, conservative giant Victor Davis Hanson asks:
why is appeasement so seductive and where will it take us in the 21st
century?
In
this collection of Hanson’s best columns from the last four years
on the policy of appeasement today and in history, the path becomes
clear. If America continues down the road of appeasement with radical
Islamic groups and aggressive regimes in Russia and North Korea, the
world will see a conflagration rivaling World War II.
The
20th-century world—after horrific losses—made it through its last
appeasement disaster; but will we be able to recover to face and ward
off the present gathering storm?
"Victor
David Hanson is perhaps the most prescient essayist of his
generation. His columns have always been must-reads for anyone
interested in Western civlilization, strategy, and America's place in
the world. How wonderful it is to now have such crucial
reading all together and at our fingertips." [/] -

"Hanson
has something useful to say on every major blunder from
the muddled way America left Iraq to the misguided effort to engage
Iran. And, he says it in a way that is well worth the read. "

Shelby Cullom Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign
Policy, and the E. W. Richardson Fellow at The Heritage Foundation
"Victor
Davis Hanson writes with the encyclopedic knowledge of a
seasoned historian, the perceptive sagacity of a policy analyst, and
the fierce conviction of a committed patriot. In this latest
collection he draws on the insights of the past to caution against
the follies of the present, and point towards a more hopeful future.
The seductions of appeasement are a perennial peril in statecraft,
and Hanson shows how they can be resisted, and why they must."
