My latest for @TheFP: 125 yrs since one of history's most daring raids, and 250 since John Adams wrote, "It has been the will of Heaven that we should be thrown into existence at a period when the greatest philosophers and lawgivers of antiquity would have wished to have lived."
The Free Press@TheFP

Long before the Maduro raid, a scrappy U.S. general ran a special operation to catch Philippine rebel leader Emilio Aguinaldo—a scheme so bold it still reads like fiction. thefp.com/p/this-week-in…

When the British evacuated Boston 250 years ago this week, they made a point of not leaving behind their friends. There is a lesson in the example they set. My latest for @TheFP. thefp.com/p/the-british-…

Long before Supreme Court looked at whether Trump had the power to impose protective tariffs, there was a constitutional crisis over whether Congress itself had the authority. My latest for @TheFP featuring Madison, Calhoun, and the nullification crisis. thefp.com/p/this-week-in…

Some personal news! I’m joining @CBSNews and @TheFP, and @schoolofwarpod is moving to a new home at The Free Press. Check out a live-streamed episode of School of War at noon ET today with former CENTCOM commander General Frank McKenzie, where we’ll unpack the war in Iran.

250 years ago, Washington seized the Dorchester Heights around Boston--and paved the way for his first real victory, albeit not exactly the one he wanted. My latest for @TheFP. Also, the 250th anniversary of the Marines storming their first beach. thefp.com/p/this-week-in…

225 years ago this week, Thomas Jefferson was at work on one of the finest inaugural addresses ever delivered. The most important line for us today? It's not the one that everyone remembers. My latest for @TheFP thefp.com/p/this-week-in…

This week in history: James Buchanan gets cold feet, Lincoln's speech at Independence Hall, and the debate over George Washington's legacy on the eve of the Civil War. Plus, more evidence for why military history belongs in schools. My latest @TheFP thefp.com/p/this-week-in…

"When Washington’s birthday arrived on February 22, 1776, he had yet to establish himself as a victorious leader. But he had already begun to define what it meant to be a republican one." Happy Washington's Birthday! My column in @TheFP. thefp.com/p/this-week-in…

Had George Washington never become president, his service during the Revolutionary War would have made him worthy of his own national holiday. Call it by its real name, Washington's Birthday. My latest for @TheFP thefp.com/p/this-week-in…

@JonathanDHorn Enjoyed your book on Lee, very detailed and well written. Fascinated by the Lee family, it’s interesting his ggg grandson, R E Lee VI, is a senior at a small college in Ohio, a starting pitcher for the baseball team.
