John Lukacs was a Hungarian-American historian who specialized in the history of Europe, particularly concerning World War II and the Cold War. Born on January 31, 1924, in Budapest, Hungary, and passing on May 6, 2019, Lukacs emigrated to the United States in 1946. He authored more than 30 books, with a particular focus on the roles of pivotal leaders such as Winston Churchill and Adolf Hitler, as well as the intellectual and cultural trends that characterized the 20th century. His works reflect a deep consideration of historical consciousness and the role of the historian, often challenging conventional views and emphasizing the importance of subjective human decisions in shaping history. Lukacs was known for his narrative style that brought historical figures and epochs to life, and for his argument that the defining characteristic of modern history was the rise and fall of nationalisms.
