Wrong, pal. History is NEVER settled. What you know about history wouldn't fill one of your shot glasses.

had a conversation with a prominent pundit recently who did not seem to realize that the departments of the executive branch are congressional creations, so not surprised at this

Looking for a book to make you rethink everything you thought you knew? That's kind of our thing.

Is this how we go to heaven?

The early bird gets more time to read before work, or however the saying goes

“Truly remarkable…Astoundingly researched, stunningly wide-ranging and laser sharp in its analysis,” it “recognizes the US military’s reliance on non-US labor, reconceptualizes sovereignty, and deprovincializes labor history.” Kristin Hoganson, author of The Heartland. uncpress.org/book/9781469...

'MASSACRE IN THE CLOUDS' was published exactly a year ago. More people were killed at Bud Dajo in 1906 than at Wounded Knee and My Lai combined - and yet this key moment along the blood meridian that runs through American history has been almost entirely forgotten.

It's Tuesday and that means we have new books publishing! This week's new books explore topics on violence in sports and American Colonialism in Cuba and the Philippines. Check them out below 👇
