Written as Venezuela was unfolding.

Delighted to share that I’ve signed a contract with Princeton University Press for A Laboratory of Intervention: Greece and the Making of Modern International Order.

Very grateful to hear from Manchester University Press that Holly Case had such kind words about my book. Her work in international and intellectual history has deeply shaped how I think about—and write—history.
