On Friday, a swarm of trucks harassed a Biden-Harris bus on Interstate 35 in Texas as it headed to Pflugerville, just north of the state capital. Armed supporters of President Trump had already shown up to disrupt a gathering in Austin and continued following the bus as it departed.

As the bus traveled up the interstate, the trucks pulled up and boxed it in, slowing traffic. Ultimately, a vehicle rammed a Biden volunteer’s car. In response, the Democrats decided to cancel the next gathering to avoid the escalating violence.

The Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations is pleased to award the 2020 Robert Ferrell Book Prize to Daniel Immerwahr for his book How to Hide an Empire: A History of the Greater United States published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux.
