About the author

Reijo Koskenoja is a researcher and writer — and a Finnish American, like John Morton of Pennsylvania, one of the fifty-six. His work focuses on institutional leadership, organizational systems, and the recorded histories behind American civic mythology.

A student of how organizations actually function under pressure — and what happens to the people who build them — he brings an outsider's clarity and an operator's instinct to questions most historians frame as settled. He is interested in how organizations behave under pressure and how public memory simplifies complicated people.

What the Fifty-Six Pledged is his first book.
