Historicus: History, books, and life as a graduate student
"If you really want to kill the terrorists where they live, keep accepting more than one idea. It drives them nuts." -Josh Lyman, The West Wing, "Isaac and Ishmael"
I have an M.A. in History from Sam Houston State University and a M.S. in Information Science from Florida State, and am now a PhD student studying military history at the University of Alabama. My research focus is insurgencies and colonial wars, particularly the social and ethnographic issues associated with counterinsurgency efforts. In a past life I worked in Information Systems for government and large businesses, but have returned to my true intellectual love.
