...is the Thomas W. Smith Distinguished Research Scholar
and Director of the James Madison Program’s Initiative on Politics and Statesmanship at Princeton University
He is one of the nation’s foremost experts on Abraham Lincoln and Lincoln’s era, and is one of PowerLine’s “Top 100 Professors in American Colleges and Universities.”
He is one of The Teaching Company’s “Star Professors,” and one of the Organization of American Historian’s Distinguished Lecturers.
You’ve seen him in CNN’s Race to the White House: Lincoln vs. Douglas, PBS’s Blood and Glory: The Civil War in Color and The Civil War: The Untold Story, and with the legendary Bill Plante on CBS This Morning at Ford’s Theatre. His vivid speaking style and crystal-clear explanations have earned him national applause:
“Professor Guelzo is excellent!! He kept me interested with his manner of presentation, content, and explanations with sides of humour.”
“Professor Guelzo both entertains and challenges his audience. I don’t know how many times I thought, “I agree with that”, only to find myself agreeing with the opposing view in the next lecture!”
“Professor Allen C. Guelzo presents the material with passion, enthusiasm, and a unique knowledge of the subject. The end result is that you eagerly anticipate each lecture.”
His “graphic and emotionally-affecting” book, Gettysburg: The Last Invasion was an eight-week New York Times best-seller. He will dazzle and enlighten your audience, just as he has for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Meet the Press: Press Pass with David Gregory, and Brian Lamb’s Booknotes. Think history is bunk? You won’t, after hearing Allen C. Guelzo.
