My C-SPAN debut, broadcast this morning, saw me discussing the causes and course of #WW2 with fellow historians @MDParadis, @vermontgmg, and chaired by the brilliant William Kelleher Storey.

Weekend read @MDParadis “The Light of Battle” — history is a great salve for those nursing wounds …
“Eisenhower sensed he had violated one of the most important pieces of wisdom he had given his son in dealing with superior officers: “do not be too free with advise”
Amazing detail in Michel Paradis' Eisenhower biog Light of Battle:
Three days before D-Day an @ap teletypist accidentally sent out a newsflash announcing landings in France had begun.
FLASH LONDON EISENHOWER’S HEADQUARTERS ANNOUNCED ALLIED LANDINGS IN FRANCE

@KahpSamrai Thank you so much! From the timing, it sounds like it might have been a present, in which case, you should be thankful for having people in your life with such great taste in gifts! Seriously, though, thank you for being kind enough to say so and hopefully you will like the next.
@MDParadis Really enjoyed The Light of Battle. Learned a lot that I didn’t know about Eisenhower and the planning for D-Day. Last Mission to Tokyo was a banger also. Keep up the good work. 👍🏾
Settling in for some #WinterBreak reading with one of my favorite historians: @MDParadis
Great memories of his time @CCUChanticleers back in October — look forward to welcoming him back to the Beach very soon

Just finished this excellent book by @MDParadis who I first heard on Netflix’s Turning Point. He offers perspective that reminds us no one deserves to be abused or dehumanized. I am grateful for his effort to write for a “nonspecialist audience” - which would be me :-)

With a watercolor of Abraham Lincoln (painted by Dwight D Eisenhower himself) looking down on us, I was honored to do a book exchange with @MDParadis@JHUPress@MarinerBooks
What an honor to host Michel @CCUChanticleers for his superb talk on the Supreme Allied Commander

25 days from the election, I just wrote an article on how Trump's disdain for U.S. alliances could shatter the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty https://t.co/HNCcz8PZhl. Thanks @just_security!
