I specialize in early modern military
history, with a particular
focus on colonial America, Native Americans, and the British
empire. I have just published Barbarians
and Brothers, Empires and
Indigenes,
and Warfare and Culture in World
History (all listed and linked above). I continue to work
on
issues of
war and
sovereignty in the English/British
relationship with local peoples in Ireland and North
America, but at the moment I am mostly absorbed with writing a textbook
on world
military history for Oxford University Press (tentatively titled Waging War: A Global History).
I am the series editor for
the "Warfare and Culture"
series
published by New York University Press. Interested authors
should click here
for
more info.
I have had a long "side career" as an
archaeologist, and have done fieldwork in
Greece, Albania, Virginia, and Hungary, and I continue
to work and publish in that field. Although seemingly tangential to my
primary work as a military historian, I have greatly benefited from the
experience, having learned much from my anthropologist colleagues and
from the close study of landscapes. Some relevant links are provided
below. Most recently I was a co-director for a project in the
mountains of northern Albania (the Shala Valley Project, SVP). We
have written up the results of that project and it is under review at
the press. The historical
component of the SVP examines how the tribal
peoples of those mountains maintained their autonomy from the Ottoman
empire while also providing some military service to the empire.
In the winter of 2008 my co-director and I snowshoed into the valley
(normally cut off during the winter) to record how the villagers manage
during the long cold season; you can read more about that trip here.
In summer 2011 we started up a new project in the Mani, in the
southern Peloponnese, in Greece (the Diros Project).
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.
