So delighted to be at the @fwwsoc.bsky.social conference in Thessaloniki on the theme of the sea in the First World War

Heather Jones' excellent opening keynote has already convinced me that, alas, I cannot continue to completely ignore all things naval as I have always happily done before 🚢🔱🌊

Amazing, Julia 🚀 so well deserved

Happy to share the news that Catastrophic Diplomacy won the 2025 Tonous and Warda Johns Family Book Award (for the best monograph in the history of U.S. foreign relations, immigration history, or military history) from the PCB-AHA.

Yeah, it was a joke of course 😬 but I does feel pretty good and, I d say, better than an edited volume

I am very proud to share with you the introduction to the special issue that I co-edited with Robert Gerwarth in the journal @conteurohistory.bsky.social : "Intra-State Conflicts and the Politics of Aid in Europe, 1917–49: An Introduction" #Humanitarianism #CivilWar www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
