Professor Dennis Showalter

Dennis Showalter is arguably one of the top military historians in the country today. A guest lecturer at West Point, the Air Force Academy and the Marine Corps University, Dennis is also past president of the Society for Military History. He was interviewed in “Hitler’s Lost Plan,” a documentary that premiered on the History Channel in December.

At CC since 1969, Dennis has won several awards, most recently the 2005 Samuel Eliot Morison Prize by the Society for Military History.

“As a researcher, mentor, critic and leader of the Society for Military History, Dennis Showalter has influenced an entire generation of military historians,” the society wrote. “His central role in mentoring young scholars is reflected in the astonishing number of acknowledgments pages where his name can be found.”
