Our pathbreaking book on the global impact of the Spanish Civil War will be published by Bloomsbury Academic in January. The cover, which includes part of the magnificent Keiskamma Guernica tapestry from South Africa, conveys the message that the impact of the conflict was global and is ongoing.

I love the diversity of microhistory. My book on the Edwin Fox looked at 19th century globalization through the lens of a single merchant vessel. In The World and a Very Small Place in Africa, Donald R. Wright stayed in Niumi,The Gambia and watched what happened over centuries.
