The American Revolution is not simple to define, writes @ted_widmer. Was it the war? Or was it the struggle to build a new nation and a better kind of society than the world had known?
That remains a work in progress. #Revolution250 trib.al/YvXcDqU

@ted_widmer @MartinPengelly @GuardianUS @Liz_Cheney This is lovely. I’ve read your book three times so far and find new nuggets each time. And somehow, I’ve read Liz’s twice already.
You both are national treasures.

Eight years ago this month, I was starting research on the West Point rugby team of 2002 and what happened to them in Iraq and elsewhere. Now, thanks to @GodinePub (and to the great @Ted_Widmer) the story is going to be a book. Out 17 October. Order: tinyurl.com/mry9cphy

Reminiscent of @ted_widmer in his book Lincoln on the Verge describing the last most dangerous train trip - by President Elect Lincoln in 1860. @JakeSullivan46 inspiring and amazing leadership.

Gripping story by @peterbakernyt "Never in Mr. Biden’s lifetime had a president ventured into a war zone that was not under the control of American forces, much less on a relatively slow-moving locomotive that would take nine and a half hours" nytimes.com/2023/02/20/us/…

Lincoln on the Verge is a fabulous book on multiple levels: brilliant writing, assiduous research & an acute focus on a largely-overlooked moment in history that resonates deeply at this time. @ted_widmer did a masterful job. (Also, should be a movie.)
Martin Pengelly@MartinPengelly
Resounding RT for this recommendation of Lincoln on the Verge by the great @ted_widmer, a book that informed @Liz_Cheney in her response to Trump’s election subversion and January 6, which we know thanks to @DraperRobert… amp.theguardian.com/books/2020/apr…
