He gives his books ridiculously long titles.

The hair is atrocious.

He writes in a very literate but accessible and non-technical style.

He specializes in books that expose common myths about history, politics, and religion and which promote personal freedom and minimal government interference in our lives.

His books have been translated into over a dozen foreign languages and are particularly popular in eastern Europe.

In his work, he shows that even moderate social welfare ideas such as distributionism (popular among his fellow Catholics) involves government coercion, the loss of freedom, and just don't work.
He's anti-war and wrote 'Who killed the Constitution? The Fate of American Liberty from WWI to George W. Bush in support of the rights of anti-war protesters.
