The American Revolution is not simple to define, writes @ted_widmer. Was it the war? Or was it the struggle to build a new nation and a better kind of society than the world had known?

That remains a work in progress. #Revolution250 https://t.co/p1nZlnrsKu

Proud to be part of a team with @GlobeOpinion publishing a new series of articles about the American Revolution, https://t.co/qt1Ji26wD1

@ted_widmer @MartinPengelly @GuardianUS @Liz_Cheney This is lovely. I’ve read your book three times so far and find new nuggets each time. And somehow, I’ve read Liz’s twice already.

You both are national treasures.

Can't wait to read!

[Martin Pengelly @MartinPengelly]

Came up with the below in 2019, suspecting I’d never actually write a book. Then met @ted_widmer and thus @GodinePub, and in short order BROTHERHOOD: WHEN WEST POINT RUGBY WENT TO WAR was born. Lucky me.

huge congrats to @MartinPengelly!

[Martin Pengelly @MartinPengelly]

Eight years ago this month, I was starting research on the West Point rugby team of 2002 and what happened to them in Iraq and elsewhere.

Now, thanks to @GodinePub (and to the great @Ted_Widmer) the story is going to be a book.

Out 17 October. Order: https://t.co/5T9G7BAfc9

Reminiscent of @ted_widmer in his book Lincoln on the Verge describing the last most dangerous train trip - by President Elect Lincoln in 1860. @JakeSullivan46 inspiring and amazing leadership.

[Robert Draper @DraperRobert]

Lincoln on the Verge is a fabulous book on multiple levels: brilliant writing, assiduous research & an acute focus on a largely-overlooked moment in history that resonates deeply at this time. @ted_widmer did a masterful job. (Also, should be a movie.)
