I first read of Ben Tumin in a New York Times profile in July 2021. Ben is a “historical satirist”. He is loath to be called a historian because for one he isn’t but also perhaps “real” (quotation mine) historians would take umbrage. However he reads a lot and knows a lot and seems to be always learning, even to the extent of following facts that might be controversial at least for writers of typical textbooks.
Ben is the founder of Skipped History, a movement/blog—some entries are for members only-- that uses satire and theater to promote learning about times in history that have been skipped over. Among other topics he is quite expert on various US invasions and invasions across the globe.
