So I'm reading a review of Woodward's Bush at War by Christopher Hitchens, and he comes out and says this:

"Wolfowitz appears, slightly to his embarrassment, as the character Phil Gorman in Saul Bellow's Ravelstein. This fiction gives an admittedly superficial portrayal of the politico-philosophic school of Leo Strauss, at least as expressed through the somewhat ambiguous life of the late Alan Bloom. It's another 'Chicago School,' this time carefully grounded in the encoded study of Plato and Machiavelli."

Just picked up Ravelstein a little earlier today. Any idea how true to fact the book is?
