From the Encounter Books biography:

"Roger Kimball is co-editor and publisher of The New Criterion and President and Publisher of Encounter Books. He is also an art critic for the London Spectator and National Review. He is the author, most recently, of The Rape of the Masters: How Political Correctness Sabotages Art (Encounter Books, 2004).

Kimball on 'The War on Terror'

"I applaud the president's stalwart war on terrorism. That, I believe, is a difficult but winnable conflict. The idea that America's freedom and security depend upon the replacement of tyranny with liberty the world over strikes me as a campaign against evil itself. That conflict, alas, is likely to be less easily won."[3]
