George Louis Beer Prize

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The George Louis Beer Prize is named after the historian George Louis Beer (1872-1920) and has been awarded by the American Historical Association (AHA) since 1923 .

With this award, the AHA honors the best publication of the year on European history. According to the Bylaws, authors must either be U.S. citizens or be permanent residents of that country as foreigners. Up to now (2015) only Edward W. Bennett (1963 and 1979), Carole Fink (1985 and 2006), Piotr Wandycz (1962 and 1989) and Gerhard Ludwig Weinberg (1971 and 1994) have received this award twice.

The George Louis Beer Prize is very prestigious and is regarded as the counterpart to the Herbert Baxter Adams Prize , with which the AHA honors the debuts of young authors.
