Excited to announce a new edited collection to which I've contributed:
PRESIDENTIAL MISCONDUCT: FROM GEORGE WASHINGTON TO TODAY, edited by Jim Banner and due out in July from @thenewpress.

This collection is an updated version of a volume that was produced during the Watergate scandal so historians could provide context.
If you read Jill Lepore's work in The @NewYorker, you might remember the story she did about the original volume here: newyorker.com/magazine/2018/…

The original volume ended with Nixon, but the new edition brings things up to the present day, with new chapters on Nixon and every president since then.

The rest of the line-up is an all-star team of political historians.
@rauchway and Kathy Olmsted do some heavy lifting, with chapters on Nixon, Bush 1 and Bush 2. Joan Hoff handles Ford, @JeremiSuri tackles Reagan, @KathrynBrownell covers Clinton, and @AllanLichtman takes Obama.
