My book, The Archaeology of the Cold War, has been accepted for publication by the University Press of Florida after a rigorous review process and I'm delighted to be working with such a great team of professionals. The manuscript is, even now, winding its way through the editorial process. I'll post more as work on it progresses toward a planned 2016 release.

Meanwhile, let's take a trip back to 1955.
