Graduate Readings

Statute of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising

The following books will be used in HI710. All of the books can be located in any academic library or via online book finders listed below. The class itself will meet at a specific time and place mutually agreed upon by students and professor. Graduate students do not have to attend the lecture section, but may wish to attend the film screenings. Graduate students will be evaluated on their level of discussion and one comprehensive book review essay over the nine books listed below and one additional book of their choice. How to write a comprehensive book review essay? Check with the New York Review of Books and follow their format or the model I have listed on my Age of Empire course.
