Historian at Stanford University, author of "Kennedy, Johnson, and the Nonaligned World" and "Days of Opportunity: The United States and Afghanistan Before the Soviet Invasion." It's good to have options.
Carlos Romulo, the Philippine foreign minister wrote a book about it that explores that linkage (if I recall correctly).
Quite a few. I'm a fan of the venerable book on Afro-Asia by G. H. Jansen, which includes Bandung and situates it along other events. There's also Christopher Lee's book on it: www.ohioswallow.com/978089680322...
Also a *distinguished* research fellow at that most notorious den of Bolshevism, the Hoover Institution.
Some of us even remember the question: Beta or VHS?
You know she plagiarized Rick Astley back in '16?
Well, there it is. Mines laid by small boats.
Love the complete mismatch of office/topic here. Will Hegseth be weighing in on monetary policy?
Old Dominion University had an active shooter situation this morning. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
Moving the Persian Gulf east, past the Strait would be a pretty ideal solution.
No better way to breach the blockade than a 2020-style boat parade.
For whatever reason, I'd expect Johnson to have had an Al Swearengen-esque verve for profanity.
That is not the Charlottesville I remember.
Watching the decline of the Washington Post day by day, as the front page is given over to endless fluff about weather, recipes, aging, and other ephemera.
Soviet elections had greater subtlety.
And also Steven Casey and Ken Osgood (especially if Cold War scholarship is eligible).
Justin Hart, Nicholas Cull, and Andrew Johnstone (@historyandrew.bsky.social) come to mind.
We never quite knew what we were going to get in my first grad colloq, as there had been an 11th-hour faculty swap. The incoming prof was teaching with books chosen by the historian he was subbing for (some titles he liked, some he detested). A chaotic semester ensued.
Features prominently in a certain Oscar contender . . .
New on the SUP blog: in consideration of current events, we have put together a list of books on Iran that we hope provides context and provokes careful thought.

Voir dire to keep any cyclops off the jury.
Maybe they're active files.
Careless People, by Sarah Wynn-Williams gets into the absolutely hollow nature of their content mediation, especially in the case of Burma. They had two contractors for the entire country and thought one of them might have anti-Rohingya sentiments.
I've never had any problems with it, but it's possible that they've been having funding issues?
Conceivably . . .
I don't think so. One edition in each case.
If the cited page numbers within a paper are consistently wrong, does that suggest something else is happening? Phrasing this vaguely for now.
I know this was posted a few days ago, but here’s my op ed on Iran. In all of the noise from overnight Iran “experts,” as a historian of US-Iran relations, I’m trying to center the Iranian people. Hopefully this is helpful for readers.

Ben MacIntyre documents Trump's four decade obsession with the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis. It is not impossible that this explains the war

His own rhetoric was part of that problem – once played, the Hitler card can't be unplayed.
