Evolution of a Historian

History is something I grew into. I majored in Humanities at Providence College – German and English literature. Then I went off to my adventure and love affair with the Army as an intelligence analyst and had the good fortune to be selected for the Russian Foreign Area Officer Program. My Ph. D. at Georgetown imparted an appreciation for the sweep of Russian history.
