Ernest van den Haag
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ernest van den Haag (September 15, 1919-March 21, 2002) was a Dutch-American sociologist, social critic, and John M. Olin Professor of Jurisprudence and Public Policy at Fordham University best known for his contributions to National Review.
Van den Haag was born in the Netherlands and raised in Italy. In 1937 he was jailed by Mussolini's Fascist government and spent almost the next two full years in solitary confinement [1]. After escaping from Italy, and then from Nazi-occupied France, he settled in the United States in 1940. He eventually met and befriended William F. Buckley, Jr.. He began writing articles for Buckley's National Review, though he was never hired as a staff member. He would contribute columns to the publication for the next 45 years. Van den Haag was also a well-known defendent of the continued use of the death penalty in the United States [2].
