One of the fun things about having a book review is that occasionally, publishers send me books that---for whatever unfathomable reason---they think Lawfare might want to write about. We’ve had some stiff competition in the past for the least-relevant book sent by a publisher. But this morning, the W.W. Norton & Company emerged as the clear winner in this admittedly dubious competitive category.

One of the fun things about having a book review is that occasionally, publishers send me books that---for whatever unfathomable reason---they think Lawfare might want to write about. We’ve had some stiff competition in the past for the least-relevant book sent by a publisher. But this morning, the W.W. Norton & Company emerged as the clear winner in this admittedly dubious competitive category. Exactly what possessed their publicists to include a blog on “Hard National Security Choices” on their distribution list for The Annotated Brothers Grimm, which just showed up in my office, I will never know. It’s a beautiful book, though. And maybe if we were named Lawfairytales . . .
