Timeline

1969

Max Boot (born September 12, 1969) is an American author, editorialist, lecturer, and military historian.

1976

His parents and grandmother, all Russian-Jews, fled from the Soviet Union in 1976 as refugees and moved to Los Angeles, where he was raised and eventually gained naturalized U.S. citizenship.

1990

He worked as a writer and editor for The Christian Science Monitor and then for The Wall Street Journal in the 1990s.

Since then, he has been the Jeane J. Kirkpatrick Senior Fellow in National Security Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations and a contributor to The Washington Post.

He has also written for numerous publications such as The Weekly Standard, the Los Angeles Times, and The New York Times, and he has authored books of military history.

1991

Boot attended the University of California, Berkeley where he graduated with honors with a Bachelor of Arts degree in history in 1991 and Yale University with an MA in Diplomatic History in 1992.

He began his career in journalism writing columns for the Berkeley student newspaper The Daily Californian.

He later said that he believes he is the only conservative writer in that paper's history.

, Boot and his family lived in the New York area.

Boot has been the Jeane J. Kirkpatrick Senior Fellow in National Security Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), a contributing editor to The Weekly Standard and the Los Angeles Times, and a regular contributor to other publications such as The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post and The New York Times.

1992

Boot worked as a writer and as an editor for The Christian Science Monitor from 1992 to 1994.

He moved to The Wall Street Journal for the next eight years.

After writing an investigative column about legal issues called "Rule of Law" for four years, he was promoted to editor of the op-ed page.

2002

Boot left the Journal in 2002 to join the Council on Foreign Relations as a Senior Fellow in National Security Studies.

His initial writings with the CFR appeared in several publications, including The New York Post, The Times, Financial Times, and International Herald Tribune.

Boot wrote Savage Wars of Peace, a study of small wars in American history, with Basic Books in 2002.

The title came from Kipling's poem "White Man's Burden".

James A. Russell in Journal of Cold War Studies criticized the book, saying that "Boot did none of the critical research, and thus the inferences he draws from his uncritical rendition of history are essentially meaningless."

Benjamin Schwarz argued in The New York Times that Boot asked the U.S. military to do a "nearly impossible task", and he criticized the book as "unrevealing".

Victor Davis Hanson in History News Network gave a positive review, saying that "Boot's well-written narrative is not only fascinating reading, but didactic as well".

Robert M. Cassidy in Military Review labeled it "extraordinary".

2003

Boot's book also won the 2003 General Wallace M. Greene Jr. Award from the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation as the best non-fiction book recently published pertaining to Marine Corps history.

Boot wrote once again for the CFR in 2003 and 2004.

2004

The World Affairs Councils of America named Boot one of "the 500 most influential people in the United States in the field of foreign policy" in 2004.

He also worked as member of the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) in 2004.

Boot published the work War Made New, an analysis of revolutions in military technology since 1500, in 2006.

The book's central thesis is that a military succeeds when it has the dynamic, forward-looking structures and administration in place to exploit new technologies.

It concludes that the U.S. military may lose its edge if it does not become flatter, less bureaucratic, and more decentralized.

The book received praise from Josiah Bunting III in The New York Times, who called it "unusual and magisterial", and criticism from Martin Sieff in The American Conservative, who called it "remarkably superficial".

2007

He has blogged regularly for Commentary since 2007, and for several years on its blog page called Contentions.

He has given lectures at U.S. military institutions such as the Army War College and the Command and General Staff College.

Boot wrote many more articles with the CFR in 2007, and he received the Eric Breindel Award for Excellence in Opinion Journalism that year.

In an April 2007 episode of Think Tank with Ben Wattenberg, Boot stated that he "used to be a journalist" and that he currently views himself purely as a military historian.

2008

Boot served as a foreign policy adviser to Senator John McCain in his 2008 United States presidential election bid.

He stated in an editorial in World Affairs Journal that he saw strong parallels between Theodore Roosevelt and McCain.

Boot continued to write for the CFR in several publications in 2008 and 2009.

2010

Boot wrote for the CFR through 2010 and 2011 for publications such as Newsweek, The Boston Globe, The New York Times and The Weekly Standard.

He particularly argued that President Barack Obama's health care plans made maintaining U.S. superpower status harder, that withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq occurred prematurely while making another war there more likely, and that the initial U.S. victory in Afghanistan had been undone by government complacency though forces could still pull off a victory.

2018

In 2018, Boot published The Road Not Taken, a biography of Edward Lansdale, and The Corrosion of Conservatism: Why I Left the Right, which details Boot's "ideological journey from a 'movement' conservative to a man without a party", in the aftermath of the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

Boot was born in Moscow.
