A very thoughtful review from @Yangguobin on the book Jennifer Altehenger and I edited over the last few years w/ support from @BritishAcademy_. We indeed struggled with excluding 文革, but thought this story needed to be told 1st--'The future still held multiple possibilities.'

Pierre Nora nous a quittés à l’âge de 93 ans. Pilier de la "Nouvelle Histoire", il laisse une œuvre historique colossale, dont sa trilogie "Les Lieux de mémoire". Une traversée du siècle pour cette figure de l’intelligentsia française. Pensées.

Writing War by @aaronwmoore is one of the best history books I read in recent years. A rare example of a book which is complicated not as part of academic virtue signaling but because it’s actually deep. And also rewarding. You’ll never understand the Sino-Japanese War the same.
