I’m the one standing up.
Fascinating lecture last night at Pembroke College, Oxford, by @mpmfinch.bsky.social on his book 'Making Makers: The Past, The Present and the Study of War.' Mike explored the origins, development & impact of the first edition of 'The Makers of Modern Strategy', a seminal text in the history of war.

“New Makers” is worth it. I’m still working my way deliberately through it, but some gems in there.

Also, @mpmfinch.bsky.social book Making Makers provides context to the evolution of the project that is helpful to strategy & military history scholars and practitioners.
