It’s finally done. Absolutely thrilled to have submitted THE SHAH'S GREAT TOUR – my global microhistory of the epic royal journeys of Persia's monarchs to Imperial Europe – for production. May it reshape our understanding of monarchy and the world order in the imperial age.

Book cover of “Islam and Nazi Germany’s War” by David Motadel

Book cover of “Islam and Nazi Germany’s War” by David Motadel

Only 38 pages in, and I’m hooked. (And absolutely do not sense the origins of modern conflicts within these pages…/s)

Upcoming course is “The Global War” and I’m thrilled to be learning more about the ‘fringes’ of WWII. (Aka, what isn’t taught in US schools)
