H-Diplo Essay 444- George C. Herring on Learning the Scholar’s Craft

June 24, 2022June 14, 2022 By George C. Herring

I have often reflected that through some stroke of good fortune I drifted rather aimlessly into a career that has been rewarding and immensely satisfying. As a student at Roanoke College, 1953-1957, I could have been a poster boy for the so-called Silent Generation: apolitical, devoid of ambition and sense of purpose, floating with an…

H-Diplo Essay 443- Francis M. Carroll on Learning the Scholar’s Craft

June 16, 2022June 9, 2022 By Francis M. Carroll

I have so enjoyed reading this series of articles in H-Diplo by diplomatic historians on how they came to this profession.  What particularly has fascinated me are the twists, turns, and chance that somewhat improbably led so many to rewarding careers in the study and teaching of the history of international affairs.  I certainly fall…

H-Diplo Essay 441- James H. Lebovic on Learning the Scholar’s Craft

June 3, 2022May 26, 2022 By James H. Lebovic

I have never been one for introspection.  I tend to look forward, not backward.  I suppose, however, that a career in international politics is a natural choice for me, given my own family history.  If not for World War II, my parents would not have met.  Then, global politics became a family affair, with relatives…

Roundtable 13-11 on Grand Strategy from Truman to Trump

May 27, 2022June 7, 2022 By Paul Avey, Mariya Grinberg, Ionut Popescu, Hilde Eliassen Restad, Peter Dombrowski Benjamin Miller and Ziv Rubinovitz

This roundtable is a rarity, not for the H-Diplo/ISSF Roundtable Review series, of course, but for roundtables published in many journals and online fora; it begins with a serious, well-written book and continues with three serious, well-written, critical review essays.  There is not a clunker in the mix.  The complete package is a model for…

Review Essay 65 on Following the Leader: International Order, Alliance Strategies, and Emulation

May 26, 2022May 19, 2022 By Evan Braden Montgomery

Military alliances are a crucial and much-studied aspect of world politics. They are also a defining feature of US grand strategy.

Roundtable 13-10 on Humane:  How the United States Abandoned Peace and Reinvented War

May 23, 2022May 24, 2022 By Anne Kornhauser, Jana K. Lipman, Tejasvi Nagaraja, Scott D. Sagan, Sarah B. Snyder, Samuel Moyn

Samuel Moyn raises many questions in his new, provocative book, Humane: How the United States Abandoned Peace and Reinvented War. The four reviews, by Anne Kornhauser, Jana K. Lipman, Tejasvi Nagaraja, and Scott D. Sagan, engage deeply, appreciatively, and critically with Moyn’s work.  For Nagaraja the book’s key question is, “how the post-9/11 Forever War…

H-Diplo Essay 437- Roger Dingman on Learning the Scholar’s Craft

May 13, 2022May 4, 2022 By Roger Dingman

How did I become the American international and naval historian that I am? I suppose it all began with stories.  Bible stories on Friday afternoons at the Catholic elementary school I attended.   Stories from the Book of Mormon that my grandmother told me. Stories depicted in the Works Progress Administration (WPA) artists’ murals at the…
