Congrats to Alan McPherson! An important, timely book on the legacy of Iran-Contra. Side note: we need more scholarship on the 1980s.

Writing a long (3,000 word) retrospective on this book and Schlesinger, asking if we are in a conservative age, if liberalism is in crisis, and if so, who/what is to blame. Stay tuned.

It’s publication day!! Very grateful that our book is now out in the world. What started as a short article developed into a multiyear project, a close collaboration, and an enduring friendship. Thanks to @vanjackson.bsky.social and everyone who supported us along the way! 1/

Here are the readings for my Spring 2025 course, “The United States and the War on Terror"--a.k.a. my next book project.

Advance copies of my new book are here! If you want one, please repost. I will select one person at random from the group. And you can always pre-order it here: yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300...

Craziest blurb I’ve ever read.

Applications for the SHAFR summer institute are due in 3 weeks! Alvita Akiboh and I are hosting the SI at Yale this year, which is open to advanced PhD students. We envision it to be a supportive space for new scholars working in a dismal academic job market. Please apply!

More details about the 2025 SHAFR Summer Institute, hosted by me & Alvita Akiboh, will go out to SHAFR members next week. Guest scholars will include Daniel Bessner, Megan Black, Kristin Hoganson, @bradleyrsimpson.bsky.social, Elisabeth Leake, @carlygoodman.bsky.social, Amna Qayyum and many others!

It is almost a real book @vanjackson.bsky.social!

I'm thrilled to reveal the cover of my new book with Van Jackson. Due out in January 2025 with Yale University Press.

My new book (co-edited with Danny Bessner) is on sale for only $136! Time to take out that second mortgage to buy some copies for you and your friends.
