Joining Information Dissemination

I'm Adam Elkus, and I'm very excited to begin posting at Information Dissemination. I'm a PhD student in International Relations at American University and a recent MA graduate of Georgetown's Security Studies Program.

A little more about me: I blog at Rethinking Security, my eponymous blog, although I also am involved with CTOVision, Small Wars Journal's El Centro, and Asia Security Watch. I've also recently started posting at Abu Muqawama. My primary interest is in military theory and strategic studies, with specific interests in new operating concepts, information security, campaign design, law enforcement, and related subjects. I'm on Twitter as well.

I live in DC, and do a lot of my blogging at Baked and Wired and Snap in Adams-Morgan. My favorite books on strategic subjects are Special Operations and Strategy, The Structure of Strategic Revolution, and The Scientific Way of Warfare. Lastly, because my friend H. Lucien Gauthier will inevitably mention it, I also really, really like giant robots and the Wu-Tang Clan. Once a blue moon they intersect.

I've followed (and admired) Information Dissemination for a while, and I'm very thankful to Galrahn for bringing me on board. This site sets the standard for discussion of naval matters and strategy, and I'm looking forward to diving into what has already been an impressive and stimulating ongoing conversation.
