For a full account of this exchange, see chapter 6. 2 See Janice Holt Giles, The G.I. Journal of Sergeant Giles (Boston: Houghton-Miffl in Company, 1965), 27. 3 AMH, FC H4 15-5, Joe Weston, “The GIs in Le Havre,” manuscript. The article was printed in Life magazine, 31 December 1945. In fact, such stereotypes of the French predated 1917. See Jean Yves Le Naour, Misères et tourments de la chair du- rant la Grande Guerre: les moeurs sexuelles des Français, 1914–1918 (Paris: Aubier, 2002), 205. 4 Charles Maier, Among Empires: American Ascendancy and Its Predecessors (Cam- bridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 2007), 154–55. 5 See Irwin Wall, The United States and the Making of Postwar France, 1945–1954 (Cam- bridge: Cambridge University Press, 1991), 34, 195, 198. 6 AMGOT stood for Allied Military Government for Occupied Territories. On AMGOT, see Régine Torrent, La France américaine: controverses de la Libération (Brussels: Éditions Racine, 2004), chap. 2. 7 Most recently, Jean Edward Smith has argued that Eisenhower favored plans to include General de Gaulle and his CFLN organization in the reconstruction of liberated France. In response to Eisenhower’s support of de Gaulle, the War De- partment sent a representative, John J. McCloy, to the White House in order to convince FDR to soften his stance against the French general. See Eisenhower in War and Peace (New York: Random House, 2012), 338. 8 On the French challenge to the Anglo-American bid for military government, see Julian G. Hurstfi eld, America and the French Nation, 1939–1945 (Chapel Hill: Univer- sity of North Carolina Press, 1986), 194–224; Wall, The United States, chap. 1. 9 For the confl ict between FDR and Charles de Gaulle, see Charles Cogan and An- drew Knapp, “Washington at the Liberation, 1944–1947,” in The Uncertain Founda- tion: France at the Liberation, 1944–1947, ed. Andrew Knapp (New York: Palgrave McMillan, 2007), 183–206. 263 264 notes to pages 5–11 10 Andrew A. Thomson, “‘Over There’ 1944/45, Americans in the Liberation of France: Their Perceptions of, and Relations with France and the French” (PhD thesis, University of Kent at Canterbury, 1996), 8. Thomson argues that AMGOT did not die out completely in 1944. 11 Coulet was the fi rst commissaire whom Charles de Gaulle appointed in Bayeux. There he dealt mostly with British troops. However, Coulet soon assumed the role of regional commissaire for all of Normandy. In this position he dealt frequently with the Americans. 12 Archives Nationales (hereafter AN), Séries AN F1a 4005, Mission militaire de lia- sion adminstrative, 1944–46 (hereafter 4005), report of 27 June 1944.

  • Why the Biography of Raymond Carr
    Historicizing the Historian: Writing the life of Raymond Carr* María Jesús González DVENTURERS, ARTISTS, CERTAIN INTELLECTUALS, novelists, kings A and queens, as well as politicians and revolutionaries of all kinds seem to be natural subjects for biography. When I decided to write the biography of the historian Sir Raymond Carr (b. 1919), I thought, quite naively, that it was a slightly eccentric thing to do.1 I soon realized that I had entered a walled garden in which there grew a number of similar plants that fed on memory: historians’ autobiog- raphies, égo-histoires, interviews,2 the customary potted biography one finds in Festschriften,3 as well as biographies of historians writ- ten by other historians. There has been a steadily increasing output of the latter since 2000. In 2010, the year the Spanish edition of my bi- ography of Carr was published, five other historians were the sub- jects of monograph-length biographies in the English language alone.4 Not all historians are comfortable with the genre, and one of the doubters was E.H. Carr (no relative of Raymond). Despite his dictum “before the history study the historian” and despite being a biographer himself, E.H. Carr (1892-1982) was ambivalent towards biography, and wondered “whether good biography made bad his- tory.” Unsurprisingly, he has also been the subject of a biography.5 María Jesús González, “Historicizing the Historian: Writing the life of Raymond Carr,” Journal of Historical Biography 16 (Autumn 2014): 33- 60, www.ufv.ca/jhb. © Journal of Historical Biography 2014.

  • The Society for Army Historical Research Annual Booklist 2019-2020
    The Society for Army Historical Research Annual Booklist 2019-2020 www.sahr.co.uk In the hope of spreading knowledge of new favourites and proven classics from the world of military publishing, the Society asked a number of military historians from various backgrounds for their book recommendations. This year, the brief was for five favourite books on the British Army (including Imperial, Dominion, and Commonwealth forces). Contributors were also asked to suggest one topic for a book that does not exist but ought to be written: it is hoped that there may be someone amongst the recipients of this list who will take up the challenge and help fill some of the remaining gaps in the existing scholarship. 1 Professor Ian Beckett retired as Professor of Military History from the University of Kent in 2015. He has held chairs in both the UK and US including as the Major General Matthew C. Horner Distinguished Professor of Military Theory at the US Marine Corps University, Quantico, Virginia. A Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, he was Secretary of the Army Records Society from 1990 to 2000 and Chairman of its Council from 2001 to 2014. A Vice President of the Friends of the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry, he has been Secretary of the Buckinghamshire Military Museum Trust since its inception in 1985. He has been a member of the Society’s Templer Medal Sub-committee and is currently one of the judging panel for the New York Historical Society’s annual $50,000 Gilder Lehrman Military History Prize. His work has centred on British auxiliary forces, the First World War, and the late Victorian Army.

    REGIME TYPE AND THE PERSISTENCE OF COSTLY SMALL WARS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Bradley N. Nelson, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Randall Schweller, Advisor Professor Richard Herrmann ________________________ Professor Alexander Thompson Advisor Graduate Program in Political Science ABSTRACT This dissertation attempts to answer the following questions: Why do powerful democracies repeatedly fail to cut their losses in costly small wars? And why have democracies exhibited such behavior more often than nondemocracies? Thus, this dissertation links regime type with the tendency of powerful states to persist in costly small wars. I argue that a two-step model, linking the incentives of political coalitions, existing institutional constraints, and war policy, explains the variation in behavior between democracies and nondemocracies in small wars. Within the model, there are five variables–three types of coalition incentives (the type and probability of domestic punishment, elite time horizons, and the role of war propaganda) and two domestic institutional constraints (the number of veto players and the pace of policy change). I hypothesize that the first three variables can push democratic political coalitions toward a dominant incentive to continue their investment in costly small wars. And the two institutional constraints at times act as safety locks on the foreign policy process, making it doubly difficult for democracies to cut their losses. ii The empirical section of this dissertation consists of four case studies: French- Indochina War, Iraqi Revolt of 1920, Soviet-Afghan War, and Sino-Vietnamese War of 1979.

Despite being a wealthy, professional woman, it was as a lower-middle class ‘housewife’ that she won the Conservative party leadership in 1975 and the general election in 1979. This raises significant historical questions. What was it about a ‘housewife’ identity that was believed to suggest the necessary qualities of a political leader? It also emphasises the centrality of gender to Thatcher’s leadership image.
