  • Political warfare in the digital age: Cyber subversion, information operations and ‘deep fakes’

    Thomas G Paterson, Lauren HanleyARTICLEAustralian Journal Of International…2020Cited by: 12References: 3

    The digital age has permanently changed the way states conduct political warfare—necessitating a rebalancing of security priorities in democracies. The utilisation of cyberspace by state and non-state actors to subvert democratic elections, encourage the proliferation of violence and challenge the sovereignty and values of democratic states is having a highly destabilising effect. Successful political warfare campaigns also cause voters to questi…

  • Cold War Revisionism: A Practitioner's Perspective

    Thomas G PatersonARTICLEDiplomatic History2007

    “Excuse me, sir,” an aide interrupts the president. “History is here to see you.” George W. Bush perks up. “History?” The assistant explains: “He seems ready to render a judgment.” Taken aback, the chief executive asks: “What about my papers? I don't want him snooping around my papers!” No problem. “Already locked up forever, sir. As per your orders.”1 This cartoon dialogue hints at what we have been doing since SHAFR's founding, although we woul…

  • Contesting Castro: The United States and the Triumph of the Cuban Revolution

    Thomas G PatersonBOOKContesting Castro1995

    Today they stand as enemies, but in the 1950s, few countries were as closely intertwined as Cuba and the United States. Thousands of Americans (including Ernest Hemingway and Errol Flynn) lived on the island, and, in the United States, dancehalls swayed to the mambo beat. The strong-arm Batista regime depended on Washington's support, and it invited American gangsters like Meyer Lansky to build fancy casinos for U.S. tourists. Major league scouts…

  • Defining and Doing the History of American Foreign Relations: A Primer

    Thomas G PatersonARTICLEDiplomatic History1990

    The charges are now legion. The field of American foreign relations history, we have been told again and again by discerning specialists and superficial nonspecialists alike, is mired in ethnocentrism, parochialism, narrowness, and staleness. Historians of American foreign relations, reads the familiar indictment, are adrift in the backwater of historical inquiry and desperately in need of new directions. There is allegedly too much detailed desc…

    Thomas G PatersonARTICLEDiplomatic History1988

    We are, the truism tells us, captives of our pasts, destined, for good or ill, whether we want to or not, to use history to find clarity in the blurred events swirling around us.' Because history is our memory, it is also the most familiar and steady guide in our quest to understand and explain. Comparisons, parallels, and analogies are always springing to mind. For some, history is a cookbook that provides a host of recipes. For others, as Henry…

  • The Historian as Detective: Senator Kenneth Keating, the Missiles in Cuba, and His Mysterious Sources

    Thomas G PatersonARTICLEDiplomatic History1987

    The story is familiar, if misleading. Senator Kenneth B. Keating, a Republican from New York, learned about the Soviet emplacement of missiles in Cuba in 1962 before the Kennedy administration did, or before Kennedy officials were willing to release the information. By relentlessly hammering on the issue of the Soviet military buildup on the Caribbean island, Keating embarrassed the Democratic administration during the campaigns for the November …
