Lincoln
David Herbert Donald
I was lucky enough to have David Herbert Donald as a professor, 40 years ago, and this argument was at the core of his Lincoln lectures, delivered in his soft, soothing drawl. Seemed improbable to me as an undergraduate. And entirely plausible to me now. https://t.co/sweqddmVz5

Time and Again
Jack Finney
Brings back memories of a great time-travel novel: “Time and Again” by Jack Finney. Set in this very spot, in 1882. The novel is now 50 years old, and recently reissued. https://t.co/4j3kP7HPn0

Thinking in Time: The Uses of History for Decision Makers
Richard E. Neustadt
It is a reminder that if the historical analogy doesn't work, everything else goes bad from there. Someone needs to by @BorisJohnson a copy of Ernest May's 1988 classic "Thinking in Time: The Uses of History for Decision-Makers." A great guide to this minefield. https://twitter.com/MatinaStevis/status/1505187375093325825
