March 6, 2012: A Time to Stir: A Documentary of the 1968 Student Uprising at Columbia University:

A powerful documentary film about the Columbia student revolt of 1968 presented by the filmmaker, Paul Cronin who describes the film as a ‘work in progress’. On April 23, 1968, members of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and Student Afro-American Society (SAS) occupied Hamilton Hall and took Dean Henry Coleman captive in his office, before students divided along tactical & racial lines. Over the next week, seven more buildings were “occupied” by different groups. This film captures the events and interviews participants on all sides, 40 years later. Images include: negotiations among the “strikers,” faculty, and administration, communal living, angry football players, telegrams from Chairman Mao, folk songs, New Age nuptials, Black Power activists, a national media scramble, & confrontations between students & police. The occupation ended in violence that left scores of students, faculty, and police injured, and talking about their days of rage for the rest of their lives.

November 8, 2011: IHI Authors Series: “Death Orders: The Vanguard of Modern Terrorism in Revolutionary Russia:

Professor Anna Geifman, Department of History, will speak about her new book on the origins of modern terrorism in revolutionary violence: “Death Orders.” She delineates psycho-historical patterns of worldwide terrorism during the past century, focusing on Russia as a case study. It was the birthplace of modern political extremism whose key features serve as models for similar experiences in other periods and regions. She shows that terrorists’ objectives have degenerated from punishment of individual adversaries and attempts to intimidate political elites to indiscriminate violence against civilians–most recently against children. The book shifts attention from ideology to practices that had been hidden, ignored, romanticized, or rationalized. “Death Orders” ventures beyond politics and psychology; it is the first work to present modern terrorism as an uncanny form of “dark spirituality.” Among Professor Geifman’s publications are: “Thou Shalt Kill: Revolutionary Terrorism in Russia, 1894-1917” (PUP 1993) and “Entangled in Terror: The Azef Affair and the Russian Revolution” (Rowman 2000). She is the editor of “Russia under the Last Tsar: Opposition and Subversion, 1894-1917” (Blackwell, 1999) and author of the psychohistorical essay, “La mort sera votre dieu: du nihilisme russe au terrorisme islamiste” (Paris, 2005).

October 22-23, 2011: IHI Faculty-Graduate Student Retreat:

From October 22 to 23, the Boston University International History Institute (IHI) held its first annual faculty-graduate student retreat at the BU Sargent Center Outdoor Camp in New Hampshire.  While enjoying lovely fall scenery at the lakeside facility, faculty and advanced graduate students met for four unscripted and stimulating discussions exploring this year’s theme: “Empires.” The history professors in attendance included Betty Anderson, William Keylor, David Mayers, Cathal Nolan, and Suzanne O’Brien. Four BU College of General Studies professors joined us in New Hampshire: Jay Corrin, Sam Deese, Michael Kort, and Leslie Kriebel. Several BU graduate students also participated, including Andrew David, Zach Fredman, Aaron Hiltner, Michael Holm, and Sarah Westwood. Danny Orbach, a Harvard graduate student studying Imperial Japan, rounded out the group.

Retreat participants arrived without prepared notes or papers to present and jumped right into a conversation about why various past empires collapsed. We spent more time looking at the Qing, Ottoman, and Soviets, and Russian/Soviet empires and came to agreement pretty quickly when examining Britain and France. Our next session looked at a few more older empires and one that gets little attention in the United States: the Javanese Empire ruling present-day Indonesia. On Sunday morning we debated the nature of the American Empire. Professor Keylor’s suggestion, looking at America as an “empire by invitation”, garnered the most approval.

October 18, 2011: Visiting Scholar: “Wanted Dead or Alive: Manhunts From Geronimo to Bin Laden:”

Author Benjamin Runkle discusses his new book, Wanted Dead or Alive: Manhunts From Geronimo to Bin Ladin. The Navy Seal raid that killed Osama Bin Ladin marked the end of the longest strategic manhunt in American history, yet the al Qaeda leader was not the first to be targeted by a U.S. military campaign. Since 1885, from Geronimo through Pancho Villa, Manuel Noriega, and Saddam Hussein, the United States has deployed military forces to kill or capture a single person nearly a dozen times. Part military history, part action story, part policy analysis, Wanted Dead or Alive chronicles the efforts of the U.S. military and intelligence agencies to bring down those identified as America’s enemies. The author is a former paratrooper and presidential speech writer with a Harvard PhD and a Bronze Star awarded in Operation Iraqi Freedom. He has worked for the Department of Defense and National Security Council and is currently a Professional Staff Member on the House Armed Services Committee.

March 3, 2010: Casablanca

The well-loved and classic film Casablanca was released into theaters on January 23, 1943, just two months after the TORCH landings in North Africa. Memories of Vichy French and Allied landing forces violently clashing were raw, and Europe was still under Nazi occupation. The majority of actors playing the flotsam of Europe’s refugees washed up in Rick’s Cafe were actual refugees from Nazi persecution. Some member’s of the Hungarian-born director’s family died in Auschwitz.

The film’s complex mix of comedy and suspense, its famously quirky dialogue, and unforgettable scenes such as the ‘battle of the anthems,’ consistently earns ratings for Casablanca among film buffs, and even critics, as one of the best feature films ever made. Academy Award winner as “Best Picture” of 1943.

September 25, 2009: Gerald Protheroe: Roger Hilsman and the Vietnam War

Roger Hilsman was an important State Department official in the Kennedy administration, active in formulation of policy leading into the Vietnam War from 1961-1963.

Hilsman was one of the leading opponents of a conventional military escalation of the war, frequently clashing with the Pentagon in an effort to limit U.S. engagement. Hilsman was convinced that “victory” in Vietnam was possible if the United States instead adopted a counterinsurgency approach to the conflict.

This perception was forged by his experiences as a guerrilla fighter in World War II. Perceived as one of the main architects of the coup against President Diem in 1963, and vilified by elements in the United States military and press, he was removed from office by President Johnson early in 1964.

September 17, 2009: The Short American Century, 1941-2008: Contrasting Views of the Era of American Dominance

April 23, 2009: Film Screening: Yamato

The IJN Yamato was the largest battleship ever floated. Its huge, 18-inch guns outranged every other warship in the world, while its name bore reverential meaning in Japan. Nearly 400 U.S. naval aircraft met the Yamato squadron on April 7, 1945, as the battleship and its escorts made a “suicide” run at high speed toward Okinawa. Only 269 men survived out of Yamato’s crew of 3,332. This new Japanese feature film recounts the lives of several crewmen, before, during, and after the final voyage of Yamato. Professor Suzanne O’Brien of the Department of History will introduce the film and answer questions afterward.

David Mayers, Senior Fellow of the International History Institute and Professor of History and Political Science at Boston University, will present his research on U.S. diplomacy toward Nazi Germany carried out in Berlin in 2008. He will focus on critical decisions made in the first years of the war, as the U.S. departed from de facto neutrality at sea and in presidential rhetoric, yet remained de jure neutral and at uneasy peace with the Axis states. Professor Mayers will also discuss why Hitler declared war on the U.S. on December 11, 1941.

March 16, 2009: Modernization And Revolution In China: From The Opium Wars To World Power

March 5, 2009: Michael Collins: Terrorist or Freedom Fighter?

Cathal J. Nolan, Executive Director of the IHI and Associate Professor of History, will introduce, discuss, and show the feature film “Michael Collins.” The film depicts Ireland’s bloody path to independence from the Rising of 1916 through the Irish Civil War. Michael Collins was a key leader of the Irish Republican Army and a negotiator of the peace and partition treaty between Ireland and Britain. He was commander-in-chief of Free State forces in the Civil War, until he was assassinated by IRA irreconcilables and bitterenders. Collins’ pioneering of urban guerrilla and terror techniques became influential far beyond Ireland during the rest of the 20th century. In a follow-on discussion led by Professor Nolan, the film will be examined for its historical recreation of events.

February 25, 2009: “The Sorrow and the Pity” Part II

William R, Keylor, Director of the IHI and Professor of History and International Relations, will introduce “Le Chagrin et la pitié.” This extraordinary documentary by Marcel Ophüls deals with Vichy and the French Resistance in World War II.

The film was made for French television but not shown on TV until 1981 because of objections to its bleak portrait of France during the war. “Le Chagrin et la pitié” is among the most important historical documentaries ever produced. It will be shown in two parts. Each showing will be followed by a discussion led by Professor Keylor.

February 24, 2009: “The Sorrow and the Pity” Part I

Does the film accurately convey the relative importance and skill of Patton and Montgomery as field commanders? How did stiff relationships and rivalries at the top affect the conduct of the war? What did Omar Bradley really think of his fellow Allied generals? Was Eisenhower seen by his peers as the remarkable Supreme Commander that popular history still portrays him to be? Or was he seen as challenged and even incompetent outside the political sphere? Rommel is popularly seen in the West as a superior battlefield opponent. How was he viewed by his fellow German generals?
