Great Leaders & Great Biographies Introduction

“The proper method for the study of politics is biography,” wrote a distinguished academic. Yet the lives of eminent statesmen, though often the subject of great (and popular) books, are rarely the subject of college syllabi. This virtual fellowship, led by national security scholar Vance Serchuk, will use the rigorous study of great biography to investigate a wider set of questions about geopolitics, leadership, and human character.

The inaugural seminar of this fellowship series will be devoted to Charles de Gaulle, the mythic general who rallied the Free French during World War II and later founded the Fifth Republic of France. The seminar will be organized around the acclaimed one-volume biography of de Gaulle by British historian Julian Jackson. Apply by May 10, 2021.
