- Synopsis
- Richard W. Leopold was an historian of American foreign policy and professor at Northwestern University. While his books and articles are still relevant, his greatest legacy was as an influence on three generations of students, some of whom, like George McGovern and Richard Gephart, went on to help form foreign policy. One of those students, attorney Steven Harper, has drawn on Leopold's private papers, published works, interviews of Leopold and his own memories, to produce a loving biography of his former professor. More than a tribute, the book is also the story of the last century in America and the experience of a non-practicing Jew caught between total assimilation and anti-semitism.
