“This collection of essays succeeds wonderfully well in revealing and analyzing the intellectual and actual challenges facing historians as they enter public affairsIt is a fitting addition to the literature on public intellectuals available to contemporary readers.” • James M. Banner, Jr., historian and author of Being a Historian: An Introduction to the Professional World of History
“This book is incredibly timely, given the current state of politics in the world, and the pressure on historians to become more engaged in conflicts of the day. The Engaged Historian is essential reading for every historian trying to negotiate their role as an engaged citizen.” • Robert B. Townsend, American Academy of Arts and Sciences
