About Me

Mark Byrnes
I am professor of history and chair of the Department of History at Wofford College in Spartanburg, SC. My obsessive interest in politics goes back to watching the Watergate hearings as a child (seriously). My current research is on radio during the Great Debate over U.S. involvement in World War II, 1939-1941. You can follow me on Twitter: @byrnesms
