Some Links

Hello, this is my first post on the Dictionary of Received Ideas. My personal blog is at Pearsall's Books. To get myself started, here are some links to some long historical pieces I've written on my blog:

Oil and geopolitics in Central Asia. Part one, part two, and part three.

The failures of Puritan moral reform under Oliver Cromwell. Part One and part two.

Why did France lose its Indo-Chinese empire? Part one and part two.
