Über den Autor


Charles A. Beard was the dean of the pre-World War II generation of American historians, and is widely regarded as the first historian to place economic factors at the center of American political life. The author of more than thirty books exploring the whole of America's past, Beard taught at several universities before retiring to full-time writing. In 1948, he received a medal from the National Institute of Arts and Letters. He died later that year. Campbell Craig is lecturer in American history and director of the honors program in diplomacy and international relations at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand. He was educated at Carleton College, the University of Chicago, and Ohio University. His current interest is in International Cold War and nuclear history, a topic about which he has written two books.
