Stanley Weintraub: Newark author's latest is on Battle of the Bulge
Newark-based prolific historian and biographer Stanley Weintraub has published his latest book, "11 Days in December: Christmas at the Bulge, 1944" (Free Press, $25).
Weintraub has written more than 50 books on subjects ranging from George Bernard Shaw to the Victorian era to 20th-century military history. His books include "Silent Night: The Story of the World War I Christmas Truce," "Long Day's Journey Into War" and "A Stillness Heard Round the World: The End of the Great War."
"It's a hobby," says Weintraub of his ability to write a book a year. "I'm retired, and this is what gets me up in the morning."
Weintraub retired six years ago from Penn State as Evan Pugh Professor Emeritus of Arts and Humanities. In 1982, he left an archive of his books and manuscripts at West Chester (Pa.) State University, his alma mater, called the Rodelle & Stanley Weintraub Research Institute. He is a National Book Award finalist and a Guggenheim Fellow. He moved to Delaware three years ago.
