Hamilton School Professor Allen C. Guelzo has released a new Great Courses Audible Original series, Tragedy to Triumph: The Winter at Valley Forge.

Across 10 lectures, Guelzo examines the Continental Army’s harrowing winter of 1777–78—its struggles with hunger, disease, and morale—and the discipline, leadership, and strategic recovery that helped turn the tide of the American Revolution.

A valuable resource for anyone interested in the founding era, military history, and the making of the American character.

Hamilton's Dr. Robert Stone and his co-author Cmdr. Joshua Hammond joined the Horns of a Dilemma podcast (@TXNatSecReview) to discuss their article, "Trapped by the Tradition: Reading Thucydides on Strategy and Policy,".

In the podcast, they challenged simplified “fortune cookie” interpretations of Thucydides, showing how translation choices and selective readings have distorted key concepts of power, necessity, and democratic decision-making in war.

Dusenbury explores the phrase "clash of civilizations", tracing it and the concept back 100 years, examining how debates about the West, political Islam, and cultural conflict have shaped foreign policy and political thought.A timely reflection on an idea that continues to influence how we understand global tensions.
