I’m pleased to share my review of Roady & Preston’s recent histories examining the roots of national security in FDR’s New Deal. My thanks to the @Lawfare editorial team for their guidance. And my thanks to @mbrenes1 for his support lawfaremedia.org/article/how…
@seanmcase reviews “The Contest Over National Security" by Peter Roady and “Total Defense" by Andrew Preston, which both trace the faults with our current understanding of national security to the New Deal, but tell quite different tales with different characters.

The #giants win in Philadelphia for the first time since 2013.
What makes it even sweeter? The Commanders also lost today.

I first read The Talisman when I was a teenager, and the story displayed the power of portal fantasy. And then Black House expanded the story’s scope into a detective thriller. I feel as if I’ve grown up with Jack Sawyer - I’m thrilled to see how his story ends
My new one, OTHER WORLDS THAN THESE (T3), is published today. It's the final book of the Talisman trilogy, co-written with my old buddy, Peter Straub. As DJT would say, thank you for your attention in this matter.

Brings me no pleasure to announce that the Giants beating the Cowboys in week 1 feels as good and possibly better than the Knicks championship

My department at LSU is hiring a historian of Modern East Asia (t-t assistant professor). We are seeking historians of the nineteenth or twentieth centuries. Those working on modern China are encouraged to apply, but we welcome candidates who specialize in any part of the region.

It’s a pleasure see my interview with @BBCWorld on the 250 US anniversary. They’ve done such a good editing job and really captured the ideas of my book well!
It was a lot of fun to have this conversation and I’m grateful to be able to share these ideas

People are saying this looks like historical footage - yeah, people used to make crowds like this for bicycle races. Gathering is a lost art.
