I read an early version of this, and I recommend it very highly! I plan to use it in my own teaching. A brilliant and concise summation.

Today is the day! Delighted that this is out! Co-authored with Amitav Acharya @yalepress.bsky.social 1/n yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300...

One of my favorite parts of one of my favorite books is in “To War With Whitaker” where the countess apologizes for using a hotel pen rather than a fountain pen. If you are into stodgy British irony and a wild true life woman’s WWII story, I highly recommend it. www.amazon.com/War-Whitaker...

Since I’ve had some new followers lately, I’m reposting this link to my (open access) book from OUP on the history of psychological war, and it’s geopolitical imaginations.

Hi, Bluesky! 👋 We're new here, but our collection began over 150 years ago. Follow along to learn how the 400+ year Congregational story is the American story.

Hi everyone, the Society for Military History is pleased to be here and contribute to this space. Join us as we work to advance the study of military history! www.smh-hq.org

While most scholars regard the advent of 2025 as chronologically over-determined, there are those who interrogate this assumption, pointing to the social constructedness of calendrical sequencing and the historical contingency of time’s flow. 🗃️

Looks really interesting!

The special issue of French History organized by Jean-Numa Ducange and myself is now out on the international/transnational aspects of the history of French socialism. academic.oup.com/fh/advance-a...

no offense to Kendrick Lamar but the best diss track of all time is still “You’re a Mean One Mr Grinch”

H-Net providers an invaluable service to those of us in the humanities. It would be great to see their purview extend. That is only possible if poeple donate to this fantastic service! Please consider doing so if you haven't already. 🗃️

Brief moment where I misread "strikes" here as meaning air strikes rather than industrial action 🤣

This episode is often overlooked in the long history of the region but it’s super important. isac.uchicago.edu/research/pub...

Looking for a user-friendly guide for your students? Writing a big research paper yourself, such as an Honors thesis, Master’s, or PhD? I wrote the book I wish I’d had at that stage. It’ll be out January 11. There is a paperback and also an ebook version. 🗃️ link.springer.com/book/9783031...

I just recorded a fascinating episode with @drichterova.bsky.social about her new book. Frederick Forsyth says "Read her fascinating book to see how reality, stranger than fiction, unfolded in this high-stakes game.” I can't disagree with the bestselling author of The #DayoftheJackal!

In the collection “How to Make Peace with History While Making History with Peace,” authors address questions of war and peace from their own historiographical perspectives and consider the potential peace history has to offer the historical discipline. 🗃️

I think this was one of the first songs of the Arab Spring that I felt in my gut. Still like this song 13 years later. Let's hope that Egypt will be free, too, one day. They deserve better. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9Re...
