A few days ago, I got to talk to about Promises, Then the Storm, plus US-ME relations more generally, with the super-neat Liam Heffernan for the podcast America: A History. The show comes out in Jan. Of course, already some things have changed: e.g. governments overthrown & new bombing campaigns.

My new book, Promises, then the Storm: Notes on Memory, Protest, and the Israel-Gaza War (London: MACK books) is now available at an online megastore near you. I'd love to see more local bookstores carry it, so please consider asking yours!
