I eagerly await her Harding revisionism.

I went captions-only after my first year of teaching and never looked back.

I wished it had gone a bit more into Garfield's earlier years. Macfadyen was excellent, of course, but a little Guiteau goes a long way.

"No one but you could gain admittance through this strait, since this strait was intended for you. I am now going to shut it."

It's new to me. I'm incredulous that there was an atmosphere of self-recrimination on the foreign policy front. Also, this seems to step away from the collective leadership model that otherwise constrained Gorbachev.

Did Reagan Make Gorbachev Possible? This article examines how Soviet leaders responded to Ronald Reagan during his first presidential administration. It contests the notion that Reagan's tough rhetoric and arms buildup from 1981 to 198....

The George C. Marshall Foundation has put together an outstanding new multimedia guide to the Marshall Plan--rich with primary sources, photographs, posters, and audio. A terrific resource for anyone working on postwar reconstruction or US foreign relations

Jokes aside, there's little reason to think that the Vance trip meant anything. It was an obvious effort at damage control.

A statue of Imre Nagy atop a bridge between blocs, formerly located near the parliament in Budapest. Orban had it moved, perhaps it can be restored.
