Thanks, Greater Portland, Maine, for putting Nations Apart atop this week’s Maine Sunday Telegram bestseller list. Great way to start out the book’s life.

Tonight -- the on sale day for Nations Apart -- I'll be at @belmontbooks.bsky.social in the eponymous Boston suburb. (Yes, the town was named for the bookstore... Don't argue, I'm a historian.) Come say hello.

There’ still a shared American story, I write in @nytimes.com, and the data shows it isn’t Vance’s ethnonationalist one. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/o...
