  • What’s in a Name

    Michael H HuntARTICLEDiplomatic History2017

    My memories of Diplomatic History’s start up are, I confess, dim. Thank heavens for some surviving editorial board correspondence from 1976 when the groundwork was laid. The letters touch on the nitty gritty of launching a new journal such as selecting an editor and a publisher and setting up an editorial board. The heavy lifting here fell to a set of senior historians: Robert Divine (SHAFR president), Robert Ferrell (chair of the editorial board…

  • Elizabeth Cobbs Hoffman. American Umpire

    Michael H HuntARTICLEThe American Historical Review2014

    This engaging book has big ambitions. It aims at stripping the empire label from the U.S. record. The critique of empire, announced at the outset, becomes a leitmotiv throughout. This study also makes a sustained case for “umpire” as the more accurate and revealing description of the U.S. role in the world. Finally, to support these two claims, Elizabeth Cobbs Hoffman offers a fluent, engaging survey of U.S. foreign policy from the nation's found…

  • Personal Reflections on SHAFR at Forty

    Michael H HuntARTICLEDiplomatic History2007

    The editors of this journal have set a formidable task—the preparation of an essay part autobiographical, part institutional, part state of the field, all to fit within a few pages and with no prospect of enlivening episodes of sex and violence. Never fear! As Jeremy Popkin's History, Historians, and Autobiography points out, historians have reviewed their own past in striking numbers and bring to the exercise special strengths. Why not give it a…

  • In the Wake of September 11: The Clash of What

    Michael H HuntARTICLEJournal of American History2002Cited by: 2

    Acute problems attend the interpretive framing of an unfolding foreign policy crisis. Just when perspective is most valuable, it is also hardest for policy makers and commentators alike to find because of the pressure to act and the value of quick and simple ways of understanding.1 Historians have something important to say at such a moment. Understanding of the past is a useful, perhaps even essential, way of providing orientation in the midst o…

    In an age dominated by the Fernand Braudels, the Robert Darntons, and the Lawrence Stones, when, in the words of Geoff Eley, “social historians are claiming everything as their own,” diplomatic history has come to seem old-fashioned, and diplomatic historians have become defensive about their place in the profession.1 James L.
