Ferenc Morton Szasz: A Celebration and Selected Writings by Mark T. Banker PDF Summary

Book Description: "Ferenc Morton Szasz was a lifelong student who became a professor of history at the University of New Mexico. As a one-year appointment at the Albuquerque campus evolved into a forty-year career, Szasz glimpsed the predictable unpredictability that he would eventually discern as one of history's most enduring and elusive traits. The connections and consequences along the way forged a truly exceptional life and career. A master of the United States history survey, Szasz enthralled and inspired tens of thousands of students with energy, enthusiasm, provocative insights, and good will. Ambitious undergraduates regularly vied with graduate students for coveted seats in his upper level courses, where he offered insights into World War II, American religious history, and popular culture. Szasz's interests, he insisted, were the "ideas of the people...and how they shift over time." In an era when historical scholarship became increasingly specialized, he pursued an eclectic array of research interests and challenged his doctoral students to do the same. The ten selections of Szasz's writings that are the primary content of this volume balance insights into history's great moments with attention to events and details often overlooked by more conventional historians. Szasz's crisp, accessible prose reveals both the unique and universal in the human experience and offers heartfelt glimpses into humanity's paradoxical promises and perils.""--Back cover
