I am using this book for my Twentieth Century Europe class again this semester. And as I am prepping it and my assignments, its breadth and depth of primary sources documents showing how fascism grew in many different European countries is amazing. Thanks to all the chapter authors!

After taking in many archives & cemeteries across the UK & Germany over the last few years, there’s almost a result! My new @yalebooks on the enemy war dead is on its way soonish (March 2025). I’ll post all about it as the publication day nears, but for now: yalebooks.co.uk/book/9780300...

Off to Brussels this evening for some final book research in Frankfurt later in the week. The train does at least give plenty of quiet time for reading through the draft manuscript, at least that’s the plan #buryingtheenemy
