Recenzii

Douglas A. Dixon provides a fine and full portrait of historian Robert H. Ferrell, among the most distinguished interpreters of American diplomacy writing during the American century. More than a study of a man or a school, this study assays the political and intellectual changes of an entire profession in the decades that followed the great postwar boom.
Thanks to this study, Robert H. Ferrell-arguably Indiana University's best-known and best-loved professor of History-now figures into a historical narrative of his own. Douglas A. Dixon's research portrays Ferrell-the scholar and the man-as something more than the "giant of diplomatic history" or the "Truman biographer," presenting him, instead, as a distinct individual, both a product and a shaper of a fascinating period in American intellectual life.
