Description

In War and the Ivory Tower, David L. Schalk explores the public role of the intellectual in times of national crisis. He compares American responses to the Vietnam War and French responses to the Algerian War, finding many similarities in the way intellectuals voiced their outrage at the policies of their governments. At a time when national crises abound, but protest is out of fashion, and intellectuals possibly a dying species, this book presents a needed reexamination of what it means for intellectuals to speak out on issues of international importance. David L. Schalk is Kenan Professor of History, Emeritus, at Vassar College. Benjamin Stora is a professor of Maghribi history at the National Institute of Oriental Civilizations and Language in Paris. His works include Algeria, 1830-2000: A Short History. George C. Herring is the Alumni Professor of History at the University of Kentucky and the author of America's Longest War: The United States and Vietnam, 1950-1975.
