Biography

Isser Woloch, Moore Collegiate Professor Emeritus of History, specializes in the social and political history of 18th and 19th century France. He is currently working on a book project entitled The Postwar Moment: The Allied Democracies in the Aftermath of World War II. Using parallel narratives, this book examines "the postwar moment" in Britain, France, and the United States, when a progressive impetus for national transformation clashed with the inertial forces of "normalcy."
