I’m pleased to share my review of Roady & Preston’s recent histories examining the roots of national security in FDR’s New Deal. My thanks to the @Lawfare editorial team for their guidance. And my thanks to @mbrenes1 for his support https://t.co/bFfbFlwXhK
@seanmcase reviews “The Contest Over National Security" by Peter Roady and “Total Defense" by Andrew Preston, which both trace the faults with our current understanding of national security to the New Deal, but tell quite different tales with different characters.
It’s a pleasure see my interview with @BBCWorld on the 250 US anniversary. They’ve done such a good editing job and really captured the ideas of my book well!
It was a lot of fun to have this conversation and I’m grateful to be able to share these ideas

#MeteorSighting: Eyewitnesses in New England and @NOAA’s GOES-19 satellite reported a bright fireball on Saturday, May 30, at 2:06 p.m EDT accompanied by a loud noise. The meteor appears to have fragmented at an altitude of 40 miles over northeast MA and southeast NH. The energy released at breakup is estimated to be equivalent to about 300 tons of TNT, which accounts for the loud noise.

This is a statement performance from the #Knicks, in a spot where everything should have pointed the other way. Both ends of the floor. This team is really good.
Elizabeth Samet reviews “The Coming Storm” by Odd Arne Westad, which argues that many of the factors that led to World War I are making a resurgence today, including trade imbalances and territorial disputes.
