Matthew Yglesias is a fellow at the Center for American Progress. His first book, with the working title Heads in the Sand: Iraq and the Strange Death of Liberal Internationalism, scheduled to be published next spring by John Wiley and co., deals with the Democratic Party's struggle to find a post-9/11 foreign policy, focusing primarily on the rise and (hopefully) fall of the liberal hawk movement.

Previously, he was a staff writer at The American Prospect and an Associate Editor at TPM Media, where he contributed to the group blogs Tapped and TPMCafe. His main blog, now at The Atlantic, has existed in various forms since the dark ages of the blogosphere in January 2002.

His writing has appeared in The Guardian, Slate, The New Republic, and The Washington Monthly, and he is a regular on BloggingHeads.tv and makes the occasional radio or television appearance.

Desperately out of touch with the American mainstream, Yglesias was born and raised in Manhattan and studied philosophy at Harvard where he was editor in chief of The Harvard Independent, a campus alternative weekly.

His latest writings can be found on the Matthew Yglesias blog.

Obscured

By Matthew Yglesias

Apr 8 2008, 6:47 PM ET Comment

A colleague notes that Doug Feith's book came out today only to be totally buried beneath all the coverage of the Petraeus/Crooker hearings. Thus, Feith's book sales have become yet another casualty of the war he did so much to bring about. It's a bit like rain on your wedding day.

Meanwhile, my book's official release isn't 'till April 25 but apparently Amazon is now shipping orders and some people even have it in their hands. If you read a copy, send me some email and let me know what you think -- I'm obviously eager to post self-aggrandizing emails, but your questions, comments, concerns, and disagreements are also welcome and can be grappled with in this very forum.
