Jean-Baptiste Duroselle
French historian
Jean-Baptiste Duroselle (17 November 1917, Paris – 12 September 1994, Arradon ) was a French historian and professor. He had initially considered an army career or study of geography , but his poor skills in mathematics and drawing led him to turn to historical study. Pierre Renouvin 's course fascinated him, and he became his assistant in 1945. [1] He went on to teach at University of Saarbrücken from 1950 to 1957 and returned to the Sorbonne afterward. Duroselle's writings include La Decadence (1980), L'Abime (1985), and others. [2] Duroselle was elected to the American Philosophical Society in 1975. [3] He was noted for his study of international relations and won a 1982 Balzan Prize for Social Sciences for his work. [4]
Among his students was Élisabeth Du Réau , biographer of Édouard Daladier . He supervised her 1987, eight-volume thesis on Daladier, [5] published in condensed form in 1993 as Édouard Daladier, 1884-1970 . [6]
