David Brin on the Lord of the Rings

David Brin does a cool “historical” analysis of Tolkien’s work. The winners write history, so he has us wondering what the War of the Rings was really about. Could it have been analagous to the 1848 uprisings in Europe against Metternich’s aristocratic system? Cool stuff.
