Really great to have my first book launch for #Battleground10 at my home school of School of Politics & IR at Queen Mary last night. It was a fascinating discussion led by Renad Mansour from Chatham House MENA and Martin Coward, and lovely to have so many of my brilliant Queen Mary University of London colleagues come along.
Delighted to see my new book, Battleground, displayed in the central foyer of Waterstones Piccadilly this morning. #Battleground10 Yale University Press London📚 School of Politics & IR at Queen Mary
