I am the author of Jimmy Carter in Africa: Race and the Cold War (2016) which was awarded the American Academy of Diplomacy’s Douglas Dillon Award, the Society of Historians of American Foreign Relations’ Robert Ferrell Prize, and the Choice Outstanding Book award. My first book was The Danger of Dreams: German and American Imperialism in Latin America, 1895-1914 (1999). I contributed the chapter on “The Cold War and Jimmy Carter,” in The Cambridge History of the Cold War (2010) and that on “The United States and Europe, 1900-1914,” in American Foreign Relations since 1600: A Guide to the Literature Online, (2007). My articles have appeared in Cold War History, International History Review, Diplomatic History, Prologue, Journal of American History, H-Diplo, and H-Pol. I was elected to the Academy of Outstanding Teachers at NC State. My next project is an analysis of US foreign policy in the 1970s
