Publication News

Prof. Benjamin Martin's new book, Years of Plenty, Years of Want: France and the Legacy of the Great War, was published by Northern Illinois University Press in 2013. Martin examines the national mood and daily life of France in July 1914 and August 1939, to help explain the burden of winning the Great War and embracing the collapse that followed.

A new book by Prof. Andrew Burstein is scheduled to be published by Palgrave MacMillan in approximately two weeks. Lincoln Dreamt He Died: The Midnight Visions of Remarkable Americans from Colonial Times to Freud is a cultural history of dreams, examining the inner lives of earlier generations of Americans.
