☀️🎓 Thrilled to be celebrating the MA Intelligence & International Security graduation on such a glorious day.
🎉 Huge congratulations to the Class of 2026! What a brilliant cohort and genuinely fun to teach.
🙌🏻 We cannot wait to see where you all go next and the impact you will make along the way.
📕 🕵♀️ Very happily stunned that Chris Costa, Executive Director of International Spy Museum has put #WatchingTheJackals at the top of his 2025 "must read" list & called it "gripping".
👉 Check out the International Spy Museum's socials for Chris' reflections on his top 5 reads.
📢 #WatchingTheJackals is 1 year old.
The reception has gone far beyond what I had expected (and Central Europeans aren't known for low expectations). Here’s a snapshot of highlights from the past 12 months.
A collective 🙏 to all who quietly made this happen. You know who you are.
