Aligica & Weinstein's "The Essential Herman Kahn"

Somehow I managed to miss this, but The Essential Herman Kahn: In Defense of Thinking, an edited volume by Paul Dragos Aligica and Kenneth Weinstein, is out now, and has been since April. I got an early peek of this book last year; it is excellent, providing readers with a representative selection of Kahn's thought-provoking -- and sometimes controversial -- writings.

For more on Kahn, check out this blog post that I wrote last year on Ten Common Pitfalls, a clever internal memo that Kahn and Irwin Mann wrote in 1957 at the RAND Corporation think-tank in Santa Monica, CA; and Hudson Institute's bio page on the late strategist/futurist.
