Diplomatic History is the journal of the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations (SHAFR). It is currently published by Blackwell Press for SHAFR.
H-Diplo has commissioned reviews of Diplomatic History articles since 1998. In a partnership with journal staff, each Diplomatic History article receives a desginated discussion week on the H-Diplo list, as outlined in a schedule published inside the front cover of each DH issue.
All reviews are commissioned by H-Diplo article review editors, who allow redistribution under the terms of our copyright policy. Reviews are in PDF format and require the free Adobe Reader (or another PDF reader).
We provide a suggested citation format to assist in scholarly use of these article reviews.
