Louis Fishman, assistant professor of history, has eyes and ears on the ground in the Middle East, especially Turkey, Israel, and Syria. Just last week, his Twitter feed was one of the most substantiated accounts of the bombing in Istanbul. Yesterday, he posted on the final battle for Aleppo and suspected use of poison gas on the rebel forces and remaining civilians.

In this video, Fishman talks about the region and legacy of President Obama’s policies.
