Personal Info and Other Projects

I specialize in early modern military history, with a particular focus on colonial America, Native Americans, and the British empire. I have just finished Barbarians and Brothers (listed above) which is contracted with Oxford University Press.  I have two edited volumes in production, one on the relationship between war and culture in world history, and the other on military alliances and and relations between early modern empires and indigenous peoples.  I am also working on issues of war and sovereignty in the English/British relationship with local peoples in Ireland and North America. 

I am currently the series editor for the  "Warfare and Culture" series to be published by New York University Press.   Interested authors should click here for more info.

Along the way I have become involved in archaeology in Greece, Albania, Virginia, and Hungary, and I continue to work and publish in that field. Some relevant links are provided below.  At the moment I am a co-director for a project in the mountains of northern Albania (the Shala Valley Project, SVP).  The historical component of that project examines how the tribal peoples of those mountains maintained their autonomy from the Ottoman empire while also providing some military service to the empire.

I was an officer in the U.S. Army (combat engineer) and served in Germany, Virginia and in the Gulf War. When not working or teaching I am a blacksmith and a whitewater kayaker.
