The reason I started writing about US foreign policy is that it's a topic the left in the US finds toxic, and one in which in general, the electorate on both sides is woefully uninformed. So I intend to make it an area of special concern.

For the record, other than an amateur's love of things historical, I've no background in the subject, I've no special contacts, no professional expertise to offer, and no guidance in what I write. So essentially, all I can offer are posts of minor (trivial really) scholarship. I'll do my damnedest though, to pass along as much quality as I can.
