@thevoos @DBashIdeas @Mottel @Adderabbi It’s an amazing work. Massive, but every chapter is a gem. As to the dowager rebbitzens, I think that is a term Heilman uses prominently in ‘Who Will Lead Us?: The Story of Five Hasidic Dynasties in America’. Don’t recollect it being used here. https://t.co/v7M8dxb96r

@webjedi @blueben @wimremes @KrisBuytaert I don't think there’s any singular event around infosec. In 'A Vulnerable System: The History of Information Security in the Computer Age', he details the history of #infosec & how many of the problems identified in the 1960s are still problematic today. https://t.co/S9UjAO6dSQ
