Samuel W. Mitcham
Samuel W. Mitcham Jr. is an American author and military historian who specializes in the German war effort during World War II and the Confederate war effort during the American Civil War. He is the author of more than 40 books and has collaborated with other historians such as Gene Mueller.
Mitcham was born in 1949, in the Louisianian village of Mer Rouge. He currently lives in Monroe. Mitcham is married and is the father of two children.
Mitcham participated in the Vietnam War where he served as a helicopter pilot for the United States Army. He studied journalism at Northeast Louisiana University and science at the North Carolina State. Mitcham earned his Ph.D. in geography in 1986 from University of Tennessee. His dissertation at Tennessee was titled The origin and evolution of the southwestern Louisiana rice region, 1880-1920. Mitcham taught geography, historical geography and military history at Henderson State University, Georgia Southern University, and the University of Louisiana at Monroe. He has been consulted by the CBS, the BBC, the NPR and The History Channel. He is also a former visiting professor in the United States Military Academy.
Mitcham has written for several websites, journals and think-tanks such as the Journal of Soviet Military Studies and the Abbeville Institute.
Mitcham is the author of more than 40 books on military history, including orders of battle, operational studies and prosopography, focusing on the careers of the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS figures, as well as on Confederate figures.
His works have been translated into at least 8 languages, including German, Polish, Chinese, and Russian among several others.
In Why Hitler?: The Genesis of the Nazi Reich (1996), Mitcham attempts to explain why the Germans elected Adolf Hitler as Chancellor of Germany.
The book received a mixed review by historian Joachim Whaley in the Journal of European Studies. Whaley wrote that the book is "a fairly standard account of Germany in the 1920s and the rise of Hitler". He concludes that this is a book for the general reader, in search of what he calls a "relatively undemanding enlightenment", but he also states that experts "who wish to engage in the serious historical debates of this subject" would have to look elsewhere.
