Iโm really proud of this. Weโre breaking down the US-centric approach of โcovert actionโ to explore the phenomenon of unacknowledged interference in international relations.

I'm excited about the upcoming volume from Georgetown University Press: press.georgetown.edu/Book/Covert-..., and I am honored to have contributed!
