I Wish I'd Been There, Book Two: European History

Edited by Byron Hollinshead ’51 and Theodore K. Rabb *61 (Doubleday). Hollinshead and Rabb asked 20 historians, “What is the scene or incident in European history that you would like to have witnessed — and why?” The historians replied with personal essays and topics ranging from the death of Alexander the Great to the German surrender ending World War II. Hollinshead is president of American Historical Publications. Rabb is a professor of history emeritus at Princeton University.
