Review: Eden Collinsworth’s “What the Ermine Saw”
Criticism - “Almost all the key events of modern Europe were seen through the eyes of this painting, which Collinsworth vividly brings to life in her writing.” 8/8/2022

British Conservatism Is Doomed

Review: Matthew Continetti’s “The Right: The Hundred-Year War for American Conservatism”
The Right - “It is to Continetti’s credit that he develops his narrative after this with fair-minded even-handedness for the most part, even if he lets his own views bleed through in the chapters concerning President Trump’s rise and fall, as well as the mix of grift and genuine intellectual ferment that he dragged in his orange wake.” 7/27/2022

NBC New York’s Jen Maxfield: Telling the Rest of the Story

Review: Barry Strauss’s “The War That Made the Roman Empire”
