Herbert Feis (June 7, 1893 - March 2, 1972) was an American historian, author, and economist who was the Economic Advisor for International Affairs to the US Department of State in the Herbert Hoover and Franklin Roosevelt administrations. Feis wrote at least 13 published books and won the annual Pulitzer Prize for History in 1961 for one of them, Between War and Peace: The Potsdam Conference which features the Potsdam Conference and the origins of the Cold War. His first major book, Europe, the World's Banker, 1870-1914 (1930), impressed Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson, who recruited Feis to the State Department, where Feis was an economic advisor 1931 to 1943. He served as a senior advisor in the War Department from 1943 to 1947. He wrote 11 major monographs over the next 25 years that provide a comprehensive history of American foreign policy from 1933 to 1950. He had access to secret documents as well as his own memories to trace the course that Washington followed in abandoning its traditional isolationism for a policy of global intervention. His books comprised the "orthodox" interpretation of history. His analysis of the origins of the Cold War was challenged from the left. However, scholarship since the 1980s has largely vindicated his interpretation of the use of nuclear weapons in 1945 as an effort to end the bloodshed as fast as possible. The Herbert Feis Prize is awarded annually by the American Historical Association, the pre-eminent professional society of historians, to recognize the recent work of public historians or independent scholars. Feis wrote: "The pan and design of this narrative were set by events and not by choice. In these crucial years that pattern of our present era was formed--although, it may be holed, not fixed. By 1945 the war was won and hopes were high. Be the end of 1949 these hopes had crumbled. The Western Allies and the Soviet Union were glaring at each other, both grasping atomic weapons. China had fallen to the Communists. The lines of division in Europe were trenched. The United States was stricken by dissension. Mutual trust had gone, mutual terror was becoming the decisive restraint." First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated]. Artikel-Nr. 40509
