In Memoriam - Walter La Feber (1933-2021)
We were deeply saddened to hear of the death of Walter LaFeber yesterday. He was simply a giant in the field of U.S. foreign relations, whose books defined and redefined the field. Ranging from his 1963 The New American Empire to his 1999 Michael Jordan and the New Global Capitalism, his scholarship literally spanned the globe and the centuries and always left us thinking anew.
