Richard Millman (historian)
Richard Millman (1932–1983) was an American historian at the University of Illinois.[1][2]
Millman was appointed instructor at Temple University for 1960–1961.[3]
His 1979 work on Benjamin Disraeli's policy during the Great Eastern Crisis of 1875–78 (Britain and the Eastern Question) was called the "authoritative account" by M. R. D. Foot[4] and a "masterly achievement" by John Vincent.[5] According to Richard Shannon, Millman "challenges the Seton-Watsonian tradition and boldly essays to restore the credibility of Disraeli's attempt to reassert the Palmerstonian tradition of maintaining the independence and integrity of the Ottoman Empire as a capital British interest".[2]

gollark: I don't consider it very cheaty itself, I just don't like it when people start using it to cheat at resource gathering.
