Few American historians of his generation have had as much
influence in both the academic and popular realms as Alan Brinkley.
His debut work, the National Book Award-winning Voices of Protest,
launched a storied career that considered the full spectrum of
American political life. His books give serious and original
treatments of populist dissent, the role of mass media, the
struggles of liberalism and conservatism, and the powers and limits
of the presidency. A longtime professor at Harvard University and
Columbia University, Brinkley has shaped the field of U.S. history
for generations of students through his textbooks and his
mentorship of some of today's foremost historians. Alan Brinkley: A
Life in History brings together essays on his major works and
ideas, as well as personal reminiscences from leading historians
and thinkers beyond the academy whom Brinkley collaborated with,
befriended, and influenced. Among the luminaries in this volume are
the critic Frank Rich, the journalists Jonathan Alter and Nicholas
Lemann, the biographer A. Scott Berg, and the historians Eric Foner
and Lizabeth Cohen. Together, the seventeen essays that form this
book chronicle the life and thought of a working historian, the
development of historical scholarship in our time, and the role
that history plays in our public life. At a moment when Americans
are pondering the plight of their democracy, this volume offers a
timely overview of a consummate student-and teacher-of the American
political tradition.
