A little pro news to share. I’ve accepted an amazing offer to serve as the Melbern G. Glasscock Endowed Chair in American History at Texas A&M University. Starting there this fall. Gig ‘em!

Because Hegseth's DoD seeks to erase the history of race, gender, etc. in the military, here are some books that speak to the realities on these topics: Scrubbing these things from DoD webpages isn't going to make these issues go away. Rather, they will fester, to the detriment of all.

Cover (and what's inside) coming soon from Oxford University Press.

One week from today, the awesome @karadixonvuic.bsky.social visits San Diego for talks at SDSU and USD. If you're free, come on out and join us!

"This is less a book than a 600-page diatribe. Wawro reduces an incredibly complex political-military contest to the barest simplicity: Vietnam was a bad war run by bad American leaders." Gregory Daddis reviews "The Vietnam War: A Military History." lareviewofbooks.org/article/an-a...

What happens when our angry political moment seeps into the writing of our history? Some thoughts thanks to the @lareviewofbooks.bsky.social.

Protip: keep an eye out for Andrew Preston's new book! www.hup.harvard.edu/books/978067...

Want to listen in on our conversation with film director Oliver Stone? Thanks to the @quincyinst.bsky.social for helping make this event a success.

Congrats to @dsuisman.bsky.social. I had the privilege to read this early on and it's a superb book. Highly recommend for those teaching about the relationships between war and society.

Why did the United States lose the war in Vietnam? Apparently because GEN Westmoreland couldn't "keep an eye on things" while Spider-Man's friend Flash Thompson was home on R&R. (From The Amazing Spider-Man, issue #52, Sep. 1967)

Next 5 on the pro reading list. Benton is super on how we talk about war. Check out @jamesgrahamwilson.bsky.social. A terrific Cold War read! As is Linn's social history of the 1950s army. Some great essays in Isaac & Bell on the "idea of the Cold War." Review forthcoming on the 'Nam.

For my first post here, a shot of my Thursday evening. A really amazing conversation with film director Oliver Stone aboard the USS Midway Museum.
