Harvard’s University’s Charles Maier has written: “Thomas Schwartz’s superbly researched political biography reveals the brilliance\, self-serving ego\, and vulnerability of America’s most remarkable diplomat in the twentieth century\, even as it provides a history of U.S. engagement in global politics as it moved beyond bipolarity.” Earlier in his career\, Schwartz was the author of America’s Germany: John J. McCloy and the Federal Republic of Germany (Harvard\, 1991)\, which was translated into German\, Die Atlantik Brücke (Ullstein\, 1992). This book received the Stuart Bernath Book Prize of the Society of American Foreign Relations\, and the Harry S. Truman Book Award\, given by the Truman Presidential Library. He is also the author of Lyndon Johnson and Europe: In the Shadow of Vietnam (Harvard\, 2003)\, which examined the Johnson Administration’s policy toward Europe and assessed the impact of the war in Vietnam on its other foreign policy objectives. He is the co-editor with Matthias Schulz of The Strained Alliance: U.S.-European Relations from Nixon to Carter\, (Cambridge University Press\, 2009). \nProfessor Schwartz has held fellowships from the Social Science Research Council\, the German Historical Society\, the Norwegian Nobel Institute\, the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars\, and the Center for the Study of European Integration. He has served as President of the Society of Historians of American Foreign Relations. He served on the United States Department of State’s Historical Advisory Committee as the representative of the Organization of American Historians from 2005-2008.
