ADMIN: Publications Page Now Available

19 July 2008

A short administration post, just to mention that I’m in the process of compiling a list of publications as a separate page on To Bed With a Trollope. I’ve marked ones that are forthcoming and provided appropriate links to those already in print — some of which may require separate subscription access, particularly for journal articles and the like.

More book reviews will be coming this weekend and next week!

Publications: Book Launch Reception

10 July 2008

I’ll be in the Washington, DC, area on Tuesday, 15 July, attending the book launch reception for the Encyclopedia of the Cold War at the Woodrow Wilson Center.

I haven’t had a chance to attend many Cold War International History Project events in the past year — the last one I attended was for the launch of Charles Gati’s Failed Illusions: Moscow, Washington, Budapest, and the 1956 Hungarian Revolt — so I’m looking forward to this one.

Publications: Encyclopedia of the Cold War

26 June 2008

Today I received my author’s copy of Routledge’s new Encyclopedia of the Cold War, for which I wrote two mid-length articles: one on Soviet premier Yuri Andropov, and the other on West German teenager Matthias Rust (famous for landing his hired Cessna in Moscow’s Red Square in May 1987).

Although I’m focusing more on my long-term projects at the moment, it helped to have some shorter pieces such as these to work on. (Even if it does remind me that I have at least three unfinished book reviews waiting in the queue.) As they say, onward and upward.
