Congratulations to all of our graduates this week who endured the warmth of DeMontfort Hall for their degree ceremonies. Always nice to get a picture afterwards with some of my FDR special subject students, even if it is interrupted by a rogue sunbeam.

Noted by the "Wall Street Journal" as providing "new insights into the mind of a critical figure in the history of the Cold War," Bevan Sewell's "John Foster Dulles" is a compelling biography of one of the most complex and under-examined architects of US foreign policy. tr.ee/sKx9iJ

I look like I'm arguing with Sean Fear, when I'm actually telling him how much I liked his paper and how I can't wait for his book.

Look forward to finding time to read this, which also appears to be available as a free download on Cornell's webpage. I never met LaFeber, sadly. Many great monographs but his textbook The American Age was my go-to as an undergrad and beyond (the cracked spine of my copy tells its own story).

An interesting review of a book I have recently bought and very much look forward to reading, though I concede it was bumped off the top of the pile this week by Geddy Lee's autobiography.
