Personal life [ edit ]

Dallek attended the University of Illinois , graduating with a B.A. in history in June 1955. He did graduate work at Columbia University , earning an M.A. in February 1957, and a Ph.D. in June 1964. While working on his Ph.D., he was a history instructor at Columbia.
He married Geraldine Kronmal (a policy health analyst) on August 22, 1965.
Academic career [ edit ]
In 1964-1994 Dallek advanced from assistant to full professor of history at the Department of History at University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA). From 1966 to 1968 he was a graduate adviser. From 1972 to 1974 he served as vice chair of the department. From 1981 to 1985 he was a research associate at the Southern California Psychoanalytic Institute . In 1993 he was a visiting professor at the California Institute of Technology , and from 1994 to 1995 he was the Harold Vyvyan Harmsworth Professor of American History at Oxford University , which in 1995 awarded him an honorary M.A.

Dallek is a member of the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations .
An Unfinished Life: John F. Kennedy, 1917-1963 [ edit ]
In 2003, Dallek published the New York Times Bestseller An Unfinished Life: John F. Kennedy, 1917-1963 John F. Kennedy in almost 40 years. Based on archival resources and unprecedented access to his medical records, especially those stored at JFK Presidential Library , it revealed his secret struggle with major health problems as well as his love affairs, the backstage role of his father, his appointment of his brother Robert F. Kennedy to the office of United States Attorney General , and speculations about what the President would have done about the Vietnam War if he had lived.
One unintended consequence of the book is due to direct citation of Barbara Gamarekian's oral history interview, [2] Mimi Alford , was eventually tracked down by New York Daily News and compelled to release a statement confirming the relationship between her and JFK. Alford later penned her own book, "Once Upon a Secret", and it was published in Feb 2012.
Nixon and Kissinger: Partners in Power [ edit ]
In 2007 Dallek published Nixon and Kissinger: Partners in Power , which claims that they were visionaries and cynics at the same time, in an attempt to explain the ups and down of their diplomatic careers. "The careers of both Nixon and Kissinger reflect the extent to which great accomplishments and public wrongdoing can spring from inner lives." The book was a finalist for the 2008 Pulitzer Prize in History .
