David B. MacDonald is a well-known scholar in the fields of international relations, genocide studies, and American politics. He taught at the Graduate School of Management Paris and was a senior lecturer in political studies at the University of Otago, New Zealand, before taking up his current appointment in the Political Science Department at the University of Guelph.

Combining conceptual rigor and detailed empirical application, this
outstanding book shows how the ‘lessons of history’ continue to
shape the perceptions of policies of American decision-makers. In
particular, Thinking History, Fighting Evil provides some timely
insight into the strategic miscalculations of the American
neo-Conservatives during the Bush era.
