The All-Palestine Government of September/October 1948 was a messy affair: a last ditch effort by the Arab League and then de facto Palestinian national leader, Hajj Amin al-Husseini (AHE), to form a government, that will give some semblance of sovereignty and insert the Palestinian voice into the discussions about the future of Palestine at the UN General Assembly, which was about to discuss Bernadotte's recommendations (annex the Palestinian territories to Trans-Jordan).

501.BB Palestine/10–248: Circular telegram
During the 1910s, Luke Hoffman was an Ottawa University student pursuing a degree in science and a passion for photography and graphic design. Hoffman captured hundreds of lively and often funny images of student life—in the classroom, in residence halls and boarding rooms, at play, and around town. Some photos were used in the OU’s yearbook, but many survive only in 3 photo albums donated to FCHS in 2010 by Hoffman’s family. #KansasHistory#HistoricPhotography#OttawaKS@histodons@genealogy

Exactly one year ago today, I unboxed the first copies of Naming Gotham. I got to spend a year sharing on podcasts, giving public lectures, & doing news interviews with PBS, Daily News, Hellgate (+ so many more). What an adventure! Thank you all for the support.
What America spent money on during the Cold War instead of actual security in the daily lives of its citizens (#22789297):
"Throughout the world, our strategic focus stand guard over our way of life. But, if a general war engulfed the world, all our military power could be helpless.
Unless our leaders could survive and control our forces before and during the holocaust, an aggressor could strike without fear of reprisal.
Only the belief that we could control our forces throughout the entire spectrum of a general nuclear war would deter him from striking the first blow."
