“Christian nationalism destroys both theology and patriotism, but Alberta pulls those elements apart and, in doing so, restores each to its own separate majesty.” I think this, from @TimAlberta, is the most important book in America right now. https://t.co/knq1gHiFhg

“Heaven help the sailors, their wives and their little ones…” Commissioned @MatthewTeague to review @DavidGrann and the piece included a quote from Herman Melville. My job literally doesn't get much better than that. The Wager review here:

Stakeknife's death is a fitting symbol for modern Ireland: shrouded in unresolved violence and unanswered questions | @MatthewTeague

This is a very generous assessment of my story from @TheAtlantic. But worth mentioning, on the death of the spy at its heart: https://t.co/QnJu1xpFUL

Some personal news. Big mistake, I suspect. Huge

January 6 marks a harrowing anniversary for American democracy. THE STEAL is the definitive, must-read journalistic account of the attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election, from Mark Bowden (BLACK HAWK DOWN) & @MatthewTeague (OUR FRIEND). Info: https://t.co/A4KGydqXSP

And business is very, very bad, as indicated by the arrows and the dying old people

March, 1968 was a more efficient time. The handbook for right down to business

In Time of EMERGENCY …a citizen’s handbook

“If you had to pick one book that would serve as a general primer for these hearings, what would it be?” “…A book by… Mark Bowden & @MatthewTeague… called THE STEAL: The Attempts To Overturn The 2020 Election & The People Who Stopped It.” https://t.co/Asj3Sb5ef8

What I couldn’t say, then, was that another friend in Ukraine came under attack alongside Brent. @arrejuan is a humane photojournalist and compassionate friend. He survived but suffered terrible injury. Please share this, friends, and help if you can. https://t.co/NUU7OQBsM4

So this is me trying to remedy that, in a small way. I want people to know the world lost a superb human being today. Among the best we have.

My friend Brent Renaud died today, killed while working as a photojournalist in Ukraine. Brent’s work excelled. But his friendship was better: He was humble, kind, gentle. He, almost frustratingly, always wanted to hear about others rather than talk about himself. 1/2

Pretty cool.

At @nytimesbooks, the great @GregoryCowles recommends 12 books, including 2 of ours: @BernardineEvari’s MANIFESTO (“a lighter work than her novels, & more straightforwardly told”), and Mark Bowden & @MatthewTeague’s “lean, fast-paced & important” THE STEAL https://t.co/div7BeYlJ4

It’s the weekend, and the boys are feeling relaxed here

This is a big deal. Two of our greatest writers @MarkBowdenwrite and @MatthewTeague brought together by @groveatlantic discuss their book on 1/6th that is released tomorrow, “The Steal.” I’ve read advanced copy & it’s stunning. @mayaonstage @lcsenecal @ProjectLincoln
