David Fromkin is a noted author, lawyer, and historian, most known for his definitive account of the creation of the modern Middle East, A Peace to End All Peace (1989), in which he recounts the key role that European policy toward the Middle East between 1914 and 1922 played in the creation of the situation that exists there today. He has written seven books in total, with his most recent in 2004, Europe's Last Summer: Who Started The Great War in 1914?
A graduate of the University of Chicago and the University of Chicago Law School, he is University Professor of history and international relations at Boston University, where he is also the Director of The Frederick S. Pardee Center for the Study of the Long-Range Future.
