William Hardy McNeill (October 31, 1917 – July 8, 2016) was a historian and author, noted for his argument that contact and exchange among civilizations is what drives human history forward, first postulated in The Rise of the West (1963). He was the Robert A. Millikan Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus of History at the University of Chicago, where he taught from 1947 until his retirement in 1987. In 1947, McNeill began teaching at the University of Chicago, where he remained throughout his teaching career. He chaired the University's Department of History from 1961 to 1967, establishing its international reputation. During his tenure as chair, he recruited Henry Moore to cast a bronze statue called Nuclear Energy commemorating the University of Chicago as the place where the world's first manmade nuclear chain reaction took place in 1942. In 1988 he was a visiting professor at Williams College, where he taught a seminar on The Rise of the West. According to John W. Boyer, the University of Chicago's Dean and a former student of McNeill's, McNeill was "one of the most important historians to teach at the University of Chicago in the twentieth century". From 1971 to 1980, he served as the editor of The Journal of Modern History. His Plagues and Peoples, was an important early contribution to the impact of disease on human history. He published The Pursuit of Power, which examined the role of military forces, military technology, and war in human history. The book was nominated for the American Book Award. More

New York: Doubleday, 1995. Tenth Printing. Hardcover. 25 cm. [14], 206, [4] pages. Illustrations. Inscribed by the author (O'Grady). Scott Francis O'Grady (born October 12, 1965) is a former United States Air Force fighter pilot. On June 2, 1995, he was shot down over Bosnia and Herzegovina by a mobile SAM launcher and forced to eject from his F-16C into hostile territory. After nearly a week of evading the Serbs he was eventually rescued by Marines. He was previously involved in the Banja Luka incident where he fired upon six enemy aircraft. The 2001 film Behind Enemy Lines is loosely based upon his experiences. On August 11, 1995, a USAF RQ-1 Predator UAV was shot down by Serb forces in the same area.

O'Grady received a Bronze Star and Purple Heart for this mission. More
