Check out this cool cover...and then what's inside when it's published soon by Cornell University Press. Super congrats Rob Williams!
If you're free around lunchtime on the left coast, how about stopping by to see Nathan Ellstrand in action discuss public history during this cool webinar session.
***Attention historians***
A new postdoc job is opening up alongside my position at San Diego State University Department of History.

Had a great time reading Jessica Chapman's superb Remaking the World: Decolonization and the Cold War--highly recommend it!--and an even better time writing the review for H-Diplo, with RJISSF. Check out the roundtable at:

Congrats to Terrence Peterson! Very much looking forward to this one, coming soon from Cornell University Press.
Next 5 down on the pro reading list. Two solid works on women's experiences in Vietnam, one from first-rate UNC Press. Osamah Khalil takes us to the 'badlands' at home & abroad. Superb overview by Jeremy Dauber [hey, Comics at SDSU!] And Cumings excels on memory & forgetting.
Final packing for #SMH2024 and these two beauties from UNC Press show up just in time for travel reading. Thanks Debbie Gershenowitz! And super congrats to Julia Irwin and Drew McKevitt (on a hiatus, mostly)!! Can't wait to dive in!!
Super excited to be heading to Temple University next week for a discussion on #PulpVietnam with the awesome folks at CENFAD. Join in on Zoom (link below) if you can't make it to Philly!
Thanks so much to H-Diplo, with RJISSF for bringing us all together for an important conversation on Fire and Rain.
If you're in the Fort Worth area next week, highly recommend this amazing event from Kara Dixon Vuic. I've been to a few previous symposiums and they are some of the best I've ever attended. Head on out and support!
Next 5 on the pro reading list. Prepping for Wayne E. Lee's SMH VP panel w/ really great reads from Stuart Schrader & Julian Go. Nancy Sherman argues passionately that vet reintegration is a matter for all of us. And Chad Williams just flies as a storyteller. Highly recommend.
Thanks so much to Kelley B. Vlahos and Responsible Statecraft for letting me share some thoughts on viewing violence as a 'cleansing force'!

Congrats to William D. James! Got to spend some quality time with him at Oxford last spring and this promises to be a really important work on grand strategy.
