Along with writing The Candy Bombers, I am also the editor of the idea journal, Democracy. The former is a work of history, the latter deals with the challenges of today and tomorrow. But though the events described in the book happened sixty years ago, they have real lessons to teach us today. I wrote about some of these lessons in the TPM Cafe Book Club discussion and in my recent USA Today op-ed, but the blogger at BellerophonChimera pulls together the book, one of my articles in Democracy, and an interview I did for Germany.info into an interesting post.
