  • Hubert Humphrey: The Conscience of the Country

    Arnold A OffnerBOOKHubert Humphrey2019

    One of the great liberal politicians of the twentieth century, rediscovered in an important, definitive biography Hubert Humphrey (1911–1978) was one of the great liberal leaders of postwar American politics, yet because he never made it to the Oval Office he has been largely overlooked by biographers. His career encompassed three well†‘known high points: the civil rights speech at the 1948 Democratic Convention that risked his political future; …

  • Forum: Perspectives on From Roosevelt to Truman

    Ruud van Dijk, Arnold A OffnerARTICLEJournal of Cold War Studies2008

    The publication of Wilson D. Miscamble's latest book, From Roosevelt to Truman: Potsdam, Hiroshima, and the Cold War (New York: Cambridge University Press, 2007), has sparked divergent reactions. Many leading historians have offered high praise for the book, describing it as “the definitive work on the complicated transition from [Franklin] Roosevelt to [Harry] Truman.” Other scholars, however, have faulted Miscamble for being too harsh on Roosev…

  • President Bush's Illegal Wars

    Arnold A OffnerARTICLEDiplomatic History2007

    Philippe Sands has written a strong indictment of President George W. Bush's administration for waging a full-scale “war on law” (p. xii)—the treaties, conventions, and customary law governing the behavior of states and individuals in the world arena. He also charges Prime Minister Tony Blair's government with being a “willing handmaiden” (p. xii) to some of America's worst violations of international law. A practicing barrister and professor of …

  • Rogue President, Rogue Nation: Bush and U.S. National Security

    Arnold A OffnerARTICLEDiplomatic History2005

    Mel Leffler is one of our profession's premier historians, to whom we, and especially this writer, are all greatly indebted for his significant contributions to our scholarship. Thus, I feel all the more compelled to dissent from his analysis that George W. Bush's national security strategy (NSS) of 2002 is not revolutionary doctrine but largely consistent with America's long-held sense of universal mission and commitment to Wilsonian liberalism,…

  • Victory in Europe 1945: From World War to Cold War

    Alan F Wilt, Arnold A Offner et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Military History2001

    At the end of World War II in Europe, peace had finally come but at a terrible price: its cities and countryside were devastated, 35 million lay dead, and those who did survive faced extreme economic hardship and the threat of starvation. Ending the war was more than a matter of defeating the German army; it was about a new world order emerging in fits and starts from the smouldering ruins of a continent. In this provocative collection, 11 senior…

  • "Another Such Victory": President Truman, American Foreign Policy, and the Cold War

    Arnold A OffnerARTICLEDiplomatic History1999

    As the twenty-first century nears, President Harry S. Truman's reputation stands high. This is especially true regarding his stewardship of foreign policy although, ironically, he entered the Oval Office in 1945 untutored in world affairs, and during his last year in the White House Republicans accused his administration of having surrendered fifteen countries and five hundred million people to communism and sending twenty thousand Americans to t…

    Arnold A OffnerARTICLEDiplomatic History1991

    It is axiomatic among historians today that relations between the United States and Germany have been crucial to the structure of the modern world order.1 None would declare, as the late A. J. P. Taylor did in his iconoclastic The Origins of the Second World War, that little need be said about American policy during the 1930s because it had little to do with the coming of war in Europe.2 Indeed, during the past two decades scholars have carefully…
