He was a specialist in 20th-century American political history, and was a senior advisor to Yale officials. He attended Phillips Academy and Harvard University. Upon graduation in 1943, he was commissioned as an ensign in the United States Navy, serving in the Caribbean, the South West Pacific theater of World War II, and Iwo Jima. In 1950 he returned to Harvard to write his Ph.D. under the direction of Frederick Merk. He taught at MIT from 1948 to 1957 before moving to Yale University in 1957. He retired in 1991. Blum is the author of several historical works, including Joseph Tumulty and the Wilson Era (1951) (about President Woodrow Wilson's private secretary Joseph Patrick Tumulty), The Republican Roosevelt (1954), V Was for Victory (1977) (about World War II), and Years of Discord: American Politics and Society, 1961–1974 (1992) (covering U.S. politics from the inauguration of U.S. President John F. Kennedy to the resignation of U.S. President Richard Nixon). This work is about how the wartime experience of Americans, nurtured in their culture and expressed in their politics, shaped American expectations about the postwar period at home and abroad. More
