[1] His doctoral dissertation was entitled “Anti-imperialism in the United States 1865-1895. Opposition to the annexation of overseas territories.” [2]
He taught at the University of Maryland from 1937 to 1942, and then, from 1942 to 1943, he served with the Office of the Coordinator of Information (which later evolved into the Office of Strategic Services and the Office of War Information) in Washington, DC.

[1] He moved to the State Department, where he did research and analysis (especially on Argentina) until 1956. [3] He then accepted a call to the History Department of the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he joined Philip Wayne Powell and Wilbur R. Jacobs in building a nucleus of scholars who would become the core of a growing department in the 1960s. Dozer published approximately 100 articles and reviews as well as several well-received books. He retired and was granted emeritus status in 1972, and died in 1980, aged 75, at Saint Francis Hospital in Santa Barbara. [1]
John Phillips Marquand was an American writer. Originally best known for his Mr. Moto spy stories, he achieved popular success and critical respect for his satirical novels, winning a Pulitzer Prize for The Late George Apley in 1938. One of his abiding themes was the confining nature of life in America's upper class and among those who aspired to join it. Marquand treated those whose lives were bound by these unwritten codes with a characteristic mix of respect and satire.
Donald Culross Peattie was an American botanist, naturalist and author.

In 1941, Foner became a public figure as one among 26 persons fired from teaching and staff positions at City College of New York for political views, following an investigation of communist influence in education by a state legislative committee, known as the Rapp-Coudert Committee.
