An excellent review of leader studies by @DanKrcmaric et al.! Raises a number of important questions about the roles and agency of *rebel* leadership. What independent effects do leaders, each with unique backgrounds, wield in the semi-anarchic environment of intra-state war? https://twitter.com/DanKrcmaric/status/1262487921506029569

These are some of the questions at the core of my dissertation, published and working articles, and book project. @kgcunnin, Katherine Sawyer, @HuangReyko, Dan Silverman, Ben Acosta, and others are also making important and significant contributions in this area.

I'm excited to see the discipline recognize the usefulness of leadership studies. @DanKrcmaric, Stephen Nelson, & Andrew Roberts make an important contribution here---and a service to the discipline---by highlighting both the strengths and potential pitfalls of this approach.
