This summer one of our longest-serving colleagues, George Esenwein, stepped down from his position. Professor Esenwein joined the faculty in the Department of History in 1993, after spending several years at the Hoover Institute at Stanford University and finishing his PhD at the London School of Economics and Political Science in 1987. In addition to his numerous publications relating to modern Spain, George’s academic career has also been focused on the history of European revolutionary and left-wing movements. He has authored and co-authored several books: Anarchist Ideology and the Working-Class Movement in Spain (University of California Press, 1989), Spain at War (with Adrian Shubert), (Longman/Pearson, 1995), and The Spanish Civil War: A Modern Tragedy (Routledge, 2005). He has also served as an editor, general editor, and contributor to the following: Guide to the John D. Crummey Peace Collection in the Hoover Institution (Hoover Press, 1991), New Dictionary of the History of Ideas (Scribners, 2004) and the multivolume digital publication, The College Researcher (Gale, 2015). During his tenure at UF, George taught European surveys and upper-division courses on a variety of themes, including Modern Spain, the Second World War in Europe, the Cold War, Political Violence and Terrorism, and Modern Revolutions.
