Getting ready to fly back home, but this year's #smh2025 was fascinating and fun as always - thanks to everyone who attended and all of those who joined via our unsecured signal chat, including the one random journalist we invited by mistake.
An intriguing hook for "The Hidden Cost of Freedom: The Untold Story of the CIA's Secret Funding System, 1941-1962" by Brad L. Fisher at the @univpressofkansas.bsky.social exhibit at #smh2025.
When I am staffing a conference exhibit, like the #SMH2025 booth, I like selling books, hearing ideas for books, and seeing photographs of people's bookshelves that they have on their smartphone.

Don’t forget to pick up your books, and get yourself a sweet treat and some coffee too while you’re here 😬 #SMH2025
Enjoyed Eamonn’s presentation on this fascinating research here at #SMH2025 and it’s well worth your time!
Day 2 of #SMH2025 was filled with panels (including the Presidential panel with Dr. Richard Overy) and wrapped up with the Keynote Address given by Henry Sledge!
Another great day at #SMH2025 - fascinating papers, exciting discussion of how pre-industrial empires established imperial rule, and our panel on leadership in the Roman world - even got to the USS Alabama (BB-60).
Words fail to describe the conference, but fortunately, no words are necessary: 👊✒️🔥
Hi #SMH2025 students, postdocs, early career scholars, & @cornellupress.bsky.social #MilitaryHistory book fans! I have great and unsurprising news: the display books need to find a home in your suitcase, because they will not all fit in mine. Stop by before noon tomorrow for a free book to help out.
For those of you who think I’m making this up right now here’s a screenshot. Also I might add that Julia-fucking-Wall is reading it out loud at the bar as we speak. @walljules.bsky.social #SMH2025
Today I learned there is Ulysses S Grant and Robert E. Lee smut fan fiction. That is what reconciliation should be about! #SMH2025
Head over to the Crystal Ballroom in the Battle House Hotel for the #SMH2025 keynote address by Henry Sledge, starting now!
A panelist today at #smh2025 said she was asked a good question at last year's conference and that question has helped guide her research since—a reminder that Q&A sessions are not toss-offs, but at their best, generative intellectual work.
"I always use him as an example to my students of an instructor who was fired on by his students." (A browser pointing to Wesley Moody's "Hero of Fort Sumter: The Extraordinary Life of Robert Anderson" at the @oupress.bsky.social #smh2025 exhibit— Anderson taught Beauregard at West Point.)
Busy booth, busy editors, busy coffee break in the city that brought the world the moon pie and this years #SMH2025 @dgb-history.bsky.social
For the map aficionado, there is an extraordinary specimen on the cover of Barak Kushner's "The Geography of Injustice: East Asia's Battle Between Memory and History," on display with @cornellupress.bsky.social in the #SMH2025 exhibits.

An amazing piece of cover art for Linda English's "Run For Your Lives! Gender and the Runaway Scrape"—the fine art details make it worth seeing in person at the @tamupress.bsky.social exhibit at #smh2025.
