He also is a Visiting Fellow of the Hoover Institution at Stanford University; an Associate Fellow of the Center for Advanced Security, Strategic and Integration Studies at the University of Bonn; a Senior Associate of the Centre for European, Russian and Eurasian Studies at the Munk School for Global Affairs and Public Policy at the University of Toronto; and a Member of the Security History Network at Utrecht University. His expertise lies in European, international, and global political history from the 19th century to the present.

A native of Breckerfeld in Westphalia, he earned his DPhil from the University of Oxford. He also has taught or has held fellowships at Harvard, the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Chicago, and the University of Glasgow.

His 3rd book, Hitler's First War is the recipient of the 2010 Arthur Goodzeit Book Award of the New York Military Affairs Symposium for the best book on military history. His next book, Becoming Hitler: The Making of a Nazi , a El Mundo Top 10 Best Seller, was shortlisted for the 2018 Elizabeth Longford Prize. He also is the editor of Als die Demokratie starb: Die Machtergreifung der Nationalsozialisten.

He provides analysis on history and contemporary international affairs for news outlets & organizations in Europe, North America, and the Middle East.

His online course on Hitler, examining his politicisation and radicalisation, and what his time in power can teach us about the nature of politics today, is open to enrollment from anywhere in the world.
