Inscribed by the author on the title page. Inscription reads: To: John Fogarty, With Warm Good Wishes, Robert Dallek. Robert A. Dallek (born May 16, 1934) is an American historian specializing in the presidents of the United States, including Franklin D. Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, and Richard Nixon. He retired as a history professor at Boston University in 2004 and previously taught at Columbia University, the University of California, Los Angeles, and Oxford University. He won the Bancroft Prize for his book Franklin D. Roosevelt and American Foreign Policy, 1932–1945 as well as other awards. In 2007 Dallek published Nixon and Kissinger: Partners in Power, which claims that they were visionaries and cynics at the same time, in an attempt to explain the ups and down of their diplomatic careers. The book was a finalist for the 2008 Pulitzer Prize in History. More
