Trump: “I'm a very strong person for free speech. At the same time…The newscasts are against me. The stories are — they said 97% bad…They'll take a great story, and they'll make it bad. See, I think that's really illegal personally.”


“Five of the Best Presidential Biographies.” Honored to have @economist.com recommend my Reagan book alongside other presidential biographies by Robert Caro, David McCullough, Doris Kearns Goodwin and David Remnick—all writers I greatly admire. economist.com/culture/2025/0…

If you have a Christmas Amazon gift card burning a hole in your pocket, might I recommend “Ronald Reagan: His Life and Legend”.... At 880 pages, the book looks intimidating. But Boot is a skillful writer and I flew through the book in a couple of weeks. georgepyle.substack.com/p/in-which-we-…

Russia remains the preeminent practitioner of hybrid warfare, writes @MaxBoot. How should the West respond? washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/…

To repel Russian attacks, the West must take action that is “sufficiently devastating to make Russian eyes water and deter future misbehavior.” @EitvydasB @MaxBoot buff.ly/4a4SOLI

Just finished the @MaxBoot biography of Reagan; it's superb. No wonder it's making the lists of best books of '24. Much recommended.

“This is another argument, if any were needed, for even stricter sanctions on the Russian economy and even more support for Ukraine in resisting Russian aggression.” @MaxBoot wapo.st/3ZTLs95

This is another argument for even stricter sanctions on the Russian economy and even more support for Ukraine. Only by making Russia pay a high price for its violations of international law can the West dissuade Putin from further aggression. bit.ly/40aUmjN

Such accidents happen in wartime everywhere. But when civilized nations commit such offenses, they apologize and make reparations. They don’t refuse to admit what they did or try to blame someone else for their actions. bit.ly/40aUmjN
