A few Yale Press authors have recently been in the news…

Michael Makovsky, author of Churchill’s Promised Land recently wrote an op/ed piece for The Wall Street Journal called, “Protecting Iraq’s Oil”. (Subcription required)

Makovsky’s book is the first to explore fully the role that Zionism played in the political thought of Winston Churchill. Tracing the development of Churchill’s positions toward Zionism and the Jewish people throughout his long career, the author offers a fresh and balanced insight into one of the twentieth century’s greatest figures.
Listen to a Yale Press Podcast interview with the author.

An interview with Christopher Long, author of Paul T. Frankl and Modern American Design appeared in the Los Angeles Times. The article included a Q&A with the author along with illustrations from the book. Read the online version.

Long’s extensively-illustrated book provides the first full account of the life and work of Viennese-born Paul T. Frankl, who–more than any other designer–shaped the distinctive look of American modernism in the mid-20th century. Setting Frankl in historical context, the volume also offers an unparalleled account of American design of the era.
