New Diplomatic History Network

This is an interview with Victoria Phillips (LSE) [https://www.lse.ac.uk/International-History/People/fellows-and-visiting-staff/phillips/phillips] about her monograph Martha Graham's Cold War. The Dance of American Diplomacy (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2020) [https://global.oup.com/academic/product/martha-grahams-cold-war-9780190610364?prevNumResPerPage=20&prevSortField=1&sortField=8&resultsPerPage=20&start=0&lang=en&cc=us] . We ask four questions: - How did you get into the field? - What is the structure and argument of the book? - What is the main historiographical (or other) intervention of the book? - What book on the topic of diplomacy (old or new) has inspired you/ would you like to recommend? The interview accompanies a review of the same title in the latest issue of Diplomatica - a journal of diplomacy and society (Brill) [https://brill.com/view/journals/dipl/dipl-overview.xml?language=en].
