Tim Weiner, "The Mission: The CIA in the 21st Century" (Mariner Books, 2025)

Q: What were the key milestones of the War on Terror under Bush?

Key milestones include the decision to invade Iraq and the establishment of secret prisons for suspected terrorists, which imposed reputational costs on the CIA and the Bush administration.

Tim Weiner, "The Mission: The CIA in the 21st Century" (Mariner Books, 2025)

Q: What has been different in researching and writing this book compared to writing Legacy of Ashes?

This book is primarily interview-driven due to a lack of declassified documents from the 21st century, illustrating the immediate and vivid contemporary issues the CIA faces.

Hadi Abdullah, "Critical Conditions: My Diary of the Syrian Revolution" (Doppelhouse Press, 2025)

Q: What in Hadi's memoir do you think will resonate deeply with readers unfamiliar with the Syrian experience?

Hadi's narrative humanizes the experience of ordinary people during the revolution, focusing on friendship and survival, providing insights that are relatable regardless of cultural background.

Hadi Abdullah, "Critical Conditions: My Diary of the Syrian Revolution" (Doppelhouse Press, 2025)

Q: How did you first encounter Hadi's work?

I first encountered Hadi Abdullah when an Italian journalist tweeted about him in 2013 during the revolution. His work in reporting kept the hopes of the revolution alive, which drew me to follow him and ultimately translate his memoir.

j. Siguru Wahutu, "In the Shadow of the Global North: Journalism in Postcolonial Africa" (Cambridge UP, 2025)

Q: What would it look like if habitus was playing the larger role than doctor for journalism on the continent?
