Note, part 2. If I am finding it hard, some days, to get up enthusiasm to deal with the Peace Conference, what must those folks in Paris in 1919 have felt like? I can empathize!

About...
- Hunt Tooley

- I am a historian of the modern world, and in particular the twentieth century. In addition to many articles and essays, I have written or edited three books on the history of the modern world, including my book, The Western Front: Battlefield and Home Front in the First World War (Palgrave Macmillan, 2003). A second and expanded edition of The Western Front has just appeared in the UK (Nov. 2015) and will out in Jan. in the US. It is expanded and renamed: The Great War: Western Front and Home Front.
For quite some time now I have been fascinated with how World War I shaped the 20th century. So, just to encourage you, I have enjoyed your blog tremendously. I don't think you need to feel like you must blog daily. Perhaps you could do fewer articles (even once a month) that are more in depth. I see you are a history professor; maybe you could even "copy and paste" some of your previous writings. Just some thoughts...
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for your encouragement and kind words! I appreciate your good suggestions, too. Good ideas. I will work on this. Best regards!
ReplyDeleteI have been enjoying this blog since I first discovered it weeks ago. I look forward to every post, and I must say you always leave us hanging in suspense!
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
ReplyDeleteFWIW, I've been greatly enjoying the series so far. Blogging regularly is pretty tough work though, esp. if you want it to be useful & informative, not just 'today I ran 2 miles' fluff.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, VERY belatedly, for your comment, and for reading the blog. All the best, tht
